i am just tired of looking for a reliable open-source model AI API with ZDR and don't even save my prompts. I'm thinking of a service for people like me who want to use it.

idea is a simple OpenAI-compatible API:

Access to open-weight models

zero retention of prompts and completions

no training on data

only retain metadata required for billing and operations: request ID, model, input/output token counts, latency, timestamp, etc.

no request/response in logs

Just here to check interest. I am not 100% sure if I can get compute to do it or not (may be i can just try with my 5090 first with a small model), but I just want to check and talk with people rather than just thinking in my head.
