The crux of the issue for anyone else interested:
The OpenRouter listing for Ox Alpha states that prompts and completions are retained but not for training by the provider. Developers reading that notice could reasonably conclude they have a firm guarantee that their code won’t be used to train the model. That conclusion is not supported by the platform’s governing terms.
The OpenRouter Stealth Model EULA — which applies to all stealth models on the platform, including Ox Alpha — grants OpenRouter and the unnamed provider the right to use user content for training, evaluation, and improvement, instructs users who do not want that use to refrain from accessing stealth models, and specifies that personal data in an input will be sent to the provider. The published materials do not explain how the per-model notice and EULA conflict is resolved in the developer’s favor.
I assume the specific assurance that it will not be used for training overrides the general EULA, but it’s not 100% clear. Probably shouldn’t upload your private codebase into it if you want to keep it private.
openrouter is pretty much the worst, if you want/need your prompts to be private. if you are asking “why is the sky blue?” …then maybe it doesnt matter.
but if you need to ask “why my pee-pee burning??”classy it up: if you have a medical condition… or something else, sensitive on nature… …better to use llama.cpp on your phone or desktop
way better answer than 2
