are you worried about sending all your data to third parties, especially if they're in different countries?

I use it through OpenRouter, which has ZDR enforcement.
I have asked OP that question but I think there are providers who are not in China and they just host the model/inference.
what would be the concern here?
Just use a provider hosting it in your country especially if your country has major data centers then its the same as using Anthropic or GPT of GCP Model Garden or AWS Bedrock
nobody here is talking about running frontier level intelligence locally so if you’re Chinaphobic and prefer layers of corporations siphoning your data in between you and the party there are plenty of options instead of directly to the party
Not shilling for them but Ollama cloud hosts domestically with ZDR afaik. I run 95% of my open weight inference through them. The rest goes through Opencode Go $10 plan (which is enough to run 3 hermes agents on DSF 4.1 and leave plenty of left to experiment with when new models drop).
