No provider claim

All providers

These privacy labels describe Kimi, the upstream model provider. Confidential requires all three: verified provider compute, end-to-end encryption and explicit zero data retention. Account and billing metadata are outside the content-retention claim.

Inference locations

Provider API declarations are also available on each model's endpoint API. Direct chat and Responses replies separate advertised availability from serving location in usage.inference_location; the actual serving region remains unknown when not reported.

usage.provider_usage.gateway_region identifies the TrustedRouter gateway, not the provider's inference location. A value such as europe-west4 does not mean the model ran in Europe. usage.inference_location.serving_region remains null when the provider has not reported it. Older gateways may return the gateway-only field as provider_usage.region.

Where the upstream GPUs execute the model, not the provider's headquarters, API ingress, or data storage. ZDR and confidential inference do not by themselves restrict geography.

Declared countries or regions: Not verified
No inference-location declaration has been verified for this provider.
Can locations change?: Not verified. Do not assume that the serving location is fixed.
Provider region pinning: Not verified.
Pinning through TrustedRouter: No verified provider-specific location pin documented here.
Infrastructure declaration: Inference location not verified; no country-specific residency commitment.
Evidence: Not yet reviewed.

Provider selection alone is not a region pin. TrustedRouter's US provider filter selects company jurisdiction, not GPU location. A regional gateway hostname does not pin a downstream GPU. For a binding residency requirement, confirm the model, region, failover scope and enforced controls before sending sensitive data.

Measured performance

32 samples

Continuously sampled across Kimi's routed models: p50 TTFT, effective throughput, and success rate. Effective throughput uses provider-reported output tokens over complete request time. Unsupported route and probe-configuration rows are separated from provider downtime. No prompt or output content stored.

Questions

Does Kimi have zero data retention?

TrustedRouter does not currently mark Kimi as provider-level zero data retention. Use trustedrouter/zdr or provider.min_privacy=zdr to select a different eligible route, and review the linked policy source for changes.

Is Kimi end-to-end encrypted?

TrustedRouter does not currently mark Kimi as end-to-end encrypted at the provider boundary. The TrustedRouter gateway is still attested, but the selected provider normally receives the request in order to run the model. Use trustedrouter/e2e for the stronger route requirement.

Which Kimi models are available through TrustedRouter?

This page currently lists 4 public Kimi models, with live pricing, route count, context length, measured performance when available, and links to each model's provider and benchmark pages.
