Ambient: data residency & retention
Headquarters
🇺🇸 United States (US)
Where inference runs
Not disclosed
Operated by Mechanus Labs Inc.; ToS governed by 'laws of the State of Delaware' with Delaware venue (no incorporation address published — US attribution based on Delaware law + 'Inc.'). Inference runs on a decentralized open network of GPU miners ('Put your GPUs to work. Serve verified inference on the network') secured by Proof of Logits; node locations/regions are not disclosed and there is no statement on whether miners can see prompt content. Privacy policy says only 'We are a global service.'
Region pinning
No
Decentralized network; no region selection exists or is disclosed.
Prompt retention
Not retained
'Ambient does not log, store, or retain inference request or response content from API traffic, including prompts/inputs, files/attachments, tool payloads, or model outputs. Content is processed only transiently.' Operational metadata (auth events, billing, timestamps, latency, error codes) is retained. Caveat: upstream platforms like OpenRouter may apply their own retention.
Trains on API data
No
'Content submitted to the Services is not used to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve models, and is not used for advertising, profiling, or analytics.'
Zero data retention
Available
Zero content retention is the stated default for all API requests ('Zero content retention for API requests'), not an opt-in tier.
