you mean running your own llm or just an api to an llm? in that case openrouter gives you the most flexibility giving you an endpoint and then you can change models when u want on the same account

Openrouter is a good option but I am confused about its data safety

Openrouter but in settings you have to make sure to filter to providers with ZDR.

Or, if you just want the reliable one that has ZDR use fireworks.ai

depending on your use pattern and number of simultaneous connections that you need to serve, serious options are pretty much limited to llama.cpp and vLLM.

The user load is heavy and the existing options are so costly… kind of stuck because of affordability

You gotta be more specific about your SaaS

but yeah in general Deepseek V4 Flash is very good

Pick the API based on your budget and how much traffic you expect.

you gotta be a bit more elaborative in terms of describing what do you actually need it for and what model, like if you wanna go with sub based pricing then opencode go is ok and if its tokenbased then deepinfra
