Provider Data Handling

The data-handling characteristics of each AI model provider available through the AI Reserve gateway — whether the provider trains on API inputs, how long it retains request data, where it processes requests, and its role under our Data Processing Addendum. These are the characteristics referenced by our Terms of Service, and they reflect each provider's enterprise API terms (not consumer-product terms, which often differ). This page may be updated from time to time as provider policies change.

How to read this page


AI Reserve routes requests to the model you select. The table below lists each model provider we route to and summarizes, from that provider's own published enterprise API terms:

  • Trains on API inputs? — whether the provider uses API inputs or outputs to train or fine-tune its models under its current terms.
  • Retention — how long the provider retains prompts and completions after processing.
  • Processing region — where the provider states requests are processed and stored.
  • Role — the provider's role under our Data Processing Addendum. A Subprocessor processes data only on our documented instructions. A provider that processes data for its own purposes (for example, one whose terms permit training on inputs) is an Independent controller, not a subprocessor, and is identified as such.
Pending verification. Where a characteristic could not be confirmed from the provider's official documentation as of the last-reviewed date, it is marked pending verification — confirm before relying on it. We do not guess: an unmarked entry reflects the provider's published terms as reviewed on the date above. Where a characteristic instead comes from a written confirmation by the provider or its partner organization rather than published terms, the entry says so inline and cites the confirmation in Sources.

Provider Trains on API inputs? Retention Processing region Role
OpenAI (direct API) No, by default.1 Inputs/outputs retained up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, then deleted. Zero Data Retention available on approval.2 United States Subprocessor
Anthropic (direct API) No, under commercial terms.3 Inputs/outputs deleted within 30 days. Note: Anthropic's "Covered Models" (including Claude Fable 5, which we route) require 30-day retention and are not eligible for Zero Data Retention.4 United States Subprocessor
AWS Bedrock No. Inputs/outputs are not used to train foundation models and are not shared with the underlying model providers.5 Not stored by default; retention depends on the account's Bedrock data-retention mode (abuse-detection retention may apply in default mode; none = zero retention). Our account's configured mode: pending verification.6 United States (us-east-1) Subprocessor
Google Vertex AI No. Google states customer data is not used to train or fine-tune foundation models, and prompts/completions for partner models (Anthropic Claude) are not shared with the model's publisher.23 Not stored by default — Google states prompts and responses for Vertex generative models are processed in memory and not logged for training; abuse-monitoring and caching behavior is configurable at the project level. Our projects' configured mode: pending verification.23 United States (us-east5) Subprocessor
Google Gemini API (paid tier) No, on paid services.7 Prompts/responses logged up to 55 days solely for abuse monitoring, then deleted.8 Global — Google's terms state data may be stored transiently or cached in any country where Google or its agents maintain facilities.7 Subprocessor
xAI (Grok) No, without explicit permission.9 Requests/responses stored encrypted for 30 days for abuse auditing, then auto-deleted. Zero Data Retention available for enterprise accounts.9 The platform can also route text-to-speech to xAI (input text processed like any request) and supports customer-created custom voices — a capability that is organization-gated and off by default for every organization. If an organization's administrator opts in, reference audio uploaded to create a custom voice (a recording of a person's voice) is transmitted to xAI, which builds and stores the resulting voice model keyed to the voice id until the organization deletes it; AI Reserve itself stores no audio, only the ownership and consent record. Creation requires an explicit consent attestation for the voice being cloned. United States Subprocessor

Training use for inference inputs: pending verification. WaveSpeedAI's privacy policy scopes "Training Data" to content customers explicitly upload to train models, which our integration never does. WaveSpeedAI's documentation states generated media URLs generally expire within 7 days; retention/deletion terms for request inputs pending verification. Singapore-incorporated operator (WaveSpeedAI PTE. LTD., per its published privacy policy); serving region and upstream affiliations pending verification — conservatively labeled China-affiliated until verified. When enabled, the models are allowlist-restricted, adult-content-gated, third-party-policy-gated, served only to organizations that have not opted out of PRC-affiliated models, additionally behind the unverified-retention consent gate while the retention terms above are pending, and never publicly listed. Subprocessor
Mistral AI (La Plateforme) No — Mistral's Terms of Use for the paid API state "We do not use Your Prompts and/or Your Outputs to train Our Model(s)".

NVIDIA (hosted NIM API catalog)
Opt-in only — organization training consent required
Locked by default for every organization. Under the published API-catalog trial terms, NVIDIA may use inputs/outputs to improve its products and services, including AI models17. The default Nemotron models (nemotron-3-super, nemotron-3-nano, nemotron-3-ultra) therefore route to DeepInfra under its no-training terms (see the DeepInfra row above) and never touch NVIDIA. Separate, clearly-labeled NVIDIA-served options (nemotron-3-super-nvidia, nemotron-3-ultra-nvidia; a third option, nemotron-3-nano-nvidia, was retired by NVIDIA effective August 28, 2026) exist only behind an organization administrator's explicit training consent (see "Organization consent gates" below) — between August 10 and August 14, 2026 no NVIDIA-served options existed at all, and no traffic reaches NVIDIA unless an administrator has opted the organization in. For organizations that opt in: content used to provide the service during the session; usage logged for security/fraud/abuse monitoring; inputs/outputs may be used to improve NVIDIA's products including AI models. No published fixed deletion window. United States Independent controller (only after organization training consent; no requests without opt-in)
Tensormesh (serverless inference) Training-use terms: pending verification. Tensormesh-served models are locked by default for every organization and require an organization administrator's explicit retention consent in the AI Reserve console (see "Organization consent gates" below).

Hugging Face, Inc. (Inference Endpoints) No — Hugging Face states data sent to Inference Endpoints stays within the dedicated deployment and is not used to train or improve models.25 Endpoints serve dedicated GPU deployments that enterprise administrators create one-click from the AI Reserve console; they are separate from gateway chat routing and receive traffic only for the deploying organization. Not stored — Hugging Face states it does not store request payloads or tokens passed to an Inference Endpoint; prompts/completions exist in the dedicated endpoint only while the request is processed. Endpoint access-log and metrics retention for our account: pending verification.25 United States — Hugging Face, Inc. is a US (New York) company; endpoints in the current deploy catalog provision on AWS us-east-1 Subprocessor

Notes & clarifications


Aggregators and open-weight models

Together AI, Fireworks AI, DeepInfra, Novita AI, Baseten, and OpenRouter serve open-weight models published by other organizations (for example, Meta Llama, Mistral, Qwen, DeepSeek, Moonshot Kimi, NVIDIA Nemotron, and OpenAI's GPT-OSS family). When a model is served by a US aggregator, the aggregator's data-handling terms apply — the model's original publisher never receives the request. For example, deepseek-v4-flash and kimi-k2.6 are served by Fireworks AI in the United States under Fireworks' zero-retention terms, even though the underlying models were published by DeepSeek and Moonshot. If Fireworks degrades, deepseek-v4-flash can fail over to its same-model US backup routes on Baseten or DeepInfra — the response's x-aireserve-served-model header always names the route that actually served, and that provider's terms above apply to that request. Likewise, the NVIDIA Nemotron 3 family (nemotron-3-super, nemotron-3-nano, nemotron-3-ultra) is served by DeepInfra: since August 2026 NVIDIA receives none of those requests (earlier traffic used NVIDIA's hosted NIM catalog — see the NVIDIA row above). The DeepInfra- and Novita-served routes (deepseek-v4-flash-deepinfra, deepseek-v4-flash-novita, qwen-3.8-max-deepinfra, qwen-3.8-max-novita) work the same way: the serving provider's terms above apply, and the model's publisher (DeepSeek, Alibaba) never receives the request. Only the direct-API rows above (DeepSeek direct, Moonshot's own API for kimi-k3 and moonshot-v1-*, Alibaba's Model Studio API for qwen-3.8-max, Mistral's La Plateforme API for mistral-medium-3.5, codestral-2508, and ministral-14b) send data to those companies.

AWS Bedrock model routing

Models with a -bedrock suffix route through AWS Bedrock in the United States. AWS operates the model inside AWS infrastructure; the model's publisher (Anthropic, Meta, Mistral, DeepSeek) does not receive prompts or completions, except where a specific Bedrock model requires provider data sharing and the account has explicitly enabled that mode — we have not enabled provider data sharing.

Since August 18, 2026 the Meta Llama and Mistral default names (llama-4-maverick, llama-4-scout, and mistral-large) are additionally served directly on AWS Bedrock alongside their OpenRouter route: the gateway load-balances each request across the two deployments of the identical model weights, and every individual request is processed entirely by one of them — AWS Bedrock's terms (row above) or OpenRouter's terms (row above) apply to that request accordingly. Meta and Mistral never receive these requests on either route. The -bedrock suffixed names remain available to pin a request to the Bedrock route exclusively.

Google Vertex AI model routing

Models with a -vertex suffix route through Google Vertex AI in the United States (us-east5). Google operates the model inside Google Cloud infrastructure as a data processor; the model's publisher (Anthropic) does not receive prompts or completions, and Google does not use them to train its models. Retention is configurable at the Google Cloud project level (see the table above).

Provider failover (same model, different host)

If the provider serving a selected model fails or is saturated, the gateway may retry the request through a disclosed failover chain instead of returning an error. By default that chain contains only deployments of the identical model weights hosted by a second provider on this page — for example, Anthropic Claude and Meta Llama models on AWS Bedrock — so the response still comes from the exact model selected, processed by a different disclosed subprocessor. The platform default never substitutes a different model: cross-model entries (for example, a smaller model in the same family) exist only where a client administrator has explicitly configured them in their own organization's fallback chain. Every response served by a fallback names the serving model in the x-aireserve-served-model response header — failover is disclosed per response, never silent. Failover never sends a request to a provider that is not on this page, and never to an Independent controller provider, unless a client administrator has explicitly configured such an entry in their own organization's fallback chain; chain entries hosted in the PRC are excluded for organizations that have opted out of PRC-hosted models. Model names with no second same-weights host carry no default failover chain at all (as do -bedrock and -vertex routes and deepseek-chat/deepseek-reasoner, which promise a single serving provider) — those fail with the provider's real error instead.

Organization consent gates

AI Reserve's default posture is that gateway traffic reaches only providers documented above as not training on API inputs, with disclosed, bounded retention. Models served by providers that soften either guarantee are locked by default for every organization and stay locked until an organization administrator explicitly opts in from the AI Reserve console:

  • Training consent unlocks models served by providers whose terms permit training on API inputs with no opt-out (DeepSeek direct API, Moonshot AI, and NVIDIA's hosted NIM catalog — reachable only via the clearly-labeled -nvidia options re-added behind this gate on August 14, 2026; the default Nemotron routes stay on DeepInfra and never touch NVIDIA).
  • Data-retention consent unlocks models served by providers whose retention can neither be turned off nor verified yet (Tensormesh).
  • PRC-server consent unlocks models served by providers operating under PRC jurisdiction (DeepSeek direct, Moonshot, Alibaba Cloud Model Studio, ByteDance BytePlus ModelArk).

A model behind more than one gate (for example DeepSeek's own API: PRC jurisdiction and training-permitted terms) requires every applicable consent. Locked models appear greyed-out in the model catalog with the required consent named, are excluded from chat and automatic routing, and API requests to them are refused. Failover chains never carry a request onto a model whose consents the organization has not given.

Zero Data Retention

Several providers offer stricter Zero Data Retention (ZDR) arrangements on request (OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Together AI). Each provider's default retention posture is the one stated in its row above — for example, Fireworks AI's row documents zero data retention by default per its published terms, confirmed in writing on September 8, 2026, and Baseten's row carries the zero-data-retention-by-default posture for its model APIs confirmed in writing on September 7, 2026. The table reflects the standard enterprise default that applies to gateway traffic today. Where ZDR has not been separately confirmed for our account, assume the standard retention window shown. If your organization requires ZDR on a specific provider, contact us.

What AI Reserve itself retains

Independently of the providers above, the AI Reserve gateway logs request metadata (model, token counts, cost, latency, status, and user/key attribution) to operate billing and spend governance. By default, the platform also stores prompt and response content to power chat history, chat search, and audit.

Usage classification (optional, per organization). When enabled, the platform categorizes AI spend by business function for the analytics dashboard by classifying the standing purpose of each API key and team from its name, description, and organizational context (details your organization sets itself, like team names, structure, and which user or team a key belongs to) — one internal model call per key or team when it is created or edited, not per request. Classification does not read prompt or response content. An earlier, retired version of this feature classified individual messages; text snapshots it captured stay inside the platform, are never used to train foundation models, and are included in every purge and deletion described below. Classification is off for newly created organizations until an administrator enables it, and administrators can turn it off entirely at any time.

Zero content retention (optional). Enterprise administrators can turn off content storage for their entire organization from the admin console ("Store prompt & response content"). While disabled, the platform persists no prompt or response text — only the billing metadata above is retained. Usage classification, which reads no message content, is governed by its own toggle above.

Deletion and retention windows. Previously stored content — prompt/response messages and the legacy classification snapshots above — can be permanently deleted on demand from the admin console, and administrators can set an automatic retention window (for example, 90 days) after which stored content is deleted on a schedule. Without a window, content is retained until deleted. When a user account is deleted, that user's stored content is deleted with it; when an organization is deleted, all of its stored content is deleted. Billing metadata is retained in each case. See our Terms of Service and Data Processing Addendum for the platform's retention commitments.

Organization instructions and context. Enterprise administrators can set organization-wide instructions (behavior and policy text) and organization-level context (shared knowledge such as company facts and terminology) that the gateway adds to the start of every conversation for every user in their organization, across web chat and API-key traffic. Both are off by default and opt-in per organization; while enabled, that content is sent to the AI model providers with every request. When active, users see a notice in the chat screen and can read the full text there.

Slack Connect customer channels

Separately from the model providers above, AI Reserve staff can create a Slack Connect shared channel with a customer organization from the AI Reserve admin console. When this is used, Slack Technologies (a Salesforce company) receives the customer admin's email address (used to send the Slack Connect channel invite), a shared channel named for the customer organization, and the messages participants choose to post in that shared channel; Slack also receives our operational alert payloads, which may reference customer organization names. For organizations that use the @aireserve mention agent in their Slack Connect channel, prompts submitted in Slack and the model completions returned there are Slack messages: they are processed and retained by Slack, and each side of the shared channel keeps its own copy under its own workspace retention settings (the customer's and AI Reserve's). Content sent through the API directly does not transit Slack. Slack is listed on the Subprocessors page.
