Open doesn't always refer to the code. Just like their previous project, it refers to an open marketplace where anybody can sign up to sell access to models.

But it'd still be nice to post to wait an extra minute to find some other page/new url from deepseek for it instead of posting that it exists somewhere.

it's not open, I know people rejected by them (then they went to my site to be listed Trustedrouter.com)

You accept any and every registration? I think that goes a bit beyond an open market and into a completely unregulated one I'd never want to route my sessions through. Thanks for providing the conflicting interest disclosure though, too often people don't bother.

No, not any

So why are rejections only a problem for the other marketplace's openness?

It is great for getting aggregate insights about the privacy and security picture of model providers.

For example if you want zero data retention and US -based hosting you can find that easily. You will not find that through Deepseek.

TrustedRouter is hosted and full opensource!

Do you know if it's more expensive than open router?

5% instead of 5.5%
