What it keeps
Per provider, and shown per model. Prompt logging can be disabled in account settings.

A router in front of dozens of providers: one account, one key, and a single API that speaks to models from many companies, with per-model pricing shown up front.

For this catalog its usefulness is the shortlist of models with permissive policies and clear statements about whether prompts are logged — which OpenRouter surfaces per provider rather than burying. Read those before routing anything sensitive through it.
