ScaleDown
Explore ScaleDown models on TrustedRouter with current routes, token pricing, policy sources, privacy posture, regional availability, and API support.
ScaleDownscaledown
These privacy labels describe ScaleDown, 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.

| Policy note | Carbon ScaleDown, Inc. serves compression, summarization, extraction, and classification tasks. Its public DPA commits to volatile-memory processing, zero retention of customer inputs and outputs, no model training on customer data, and US-only processing. Content-free operational logs may be retained for up to 90 days. These are ZDR routes, not attested confidential-compute or E2EE routes. Input tokens are billable; output tokens are free.

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.
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
- United States
ScaleDown's marketplace application states that hosted processing occurs in the US and requires written consent for processing elsewhere. Customer-run VPC deployments are separate. - Can locations change?
- Individual US sites and model placement are unspecified; confirm the applicable contract before relying on residency.
- Provider region pinning
- No per-request regional pin verified.
- Pinning through TrustedRouter
- Not supported by the current TrustedRouter integration.
- Infrastructure declaration
- US hosted processing, provider-submitted declaration; individual site unspecified.
- Evidence
- Provider-submitted marketplace information; linked DPA for contractual review. 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
27 samplesContinuously sampled across ScaleDown'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 ScaleDown have zero data retention?
TrustedRouter records ScaleDown as supporting provider-level zero data retention based on the policy source linked on this page. This is a provider policy claim, separate from TrustedRouter's content-stateless real-time gateway and from end-to-end confidential compute.
Is ScaleDown end-to-end encrypted?
TrustedRouter does not currently mark ScaleDown 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 ScaleDown models are available through TrustedRouter?
This page currently lists 4 public ScaleDown models, with live pricing, route count, context length, measured performance when available, and links to each model's provider and benchmark pages.
