OpenRouter Chatroom adds a one-click Zero-Data Retention (ZDR) toggle to enable private side-by-side model comparisons.

OpenRouter has introduced a new one-click Zero-Data Retention (ZDR) feature in its Chatroom interface. The update allows users to compare different AI models side-by-side with full privacy, ensuring that prompt and conversation data is not retained by the platform or upstream model providers during testing.

// ANALYSIS

A major privacy upgrade that turns a developer playground into an enterprise-safe sandbox, but relies on downstream model providers respecting the ZDR settings.

–Simplifies private testing of multiple models simultaneously.
–Removes barriers for developers working under strict compliance/data privacy requirements.
–Relies on OpenRouter successfully negotiating and enforcing ZDR policies with all integrated model providers.

Chatto, a self-hostable and extensible team group chat application, has officially transitioned to an open-source model under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0).

Hendrik Mans has open-sourced Chatto, a modular, self-hostable group chat application designed to be a lightweight and familiar alternative to platforms like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Discord. Built with a focus on ease of deployment, low system requirements, and data privacy, the platform is now available on GitHub. It features both a Client API (using WebSockets for real-time updates) and a server-side Extension API, allowing developers to create custom integrations or replace core components such as search. Chatto intentionally avoids federation to prioritize strict data containment and compliance for single-instance setups.
