EU and US inference

EU models run in the EU on renewable energy. US models are a separate ZDR lane. You pick the model. Crypton is a UK company; billing metadata stays under UK law.

Zero retention at inference

Default ZDR at the inference provider. We never log prompt bodies. Chat history is optional encrypted storage you can delete.

One meter

Chat and the OpenAI-compatible API use the same EUR rate card. No Chat surcharge. Paid usage comes from your Crypton credits.

Honest prices (EUR / 1M tokens)

Chat and the API share one EUR rate card. We do not compete with US routers on price. The US lane is residency and these models, not a cheap router. We sell ZDR, crypto, and one Crypton account.

FAQ

Do you keep my prompts?

The EU provider discards the request after the reply (third-party ZDR certificate). The US provider’s published policy is the same: no request or response bodies stored. Crypton does not log prompt bodies. If you use Chat without Incognito, we store encrypted history until you delete it.

Can I use it without an account?

No. Account required. No guest Chat.

Is this cheaper than OpenRouter?

No. Say that out loud: Llama-class 70B on Crypton is still many times a cheap US router. Buy us for ZDR + crypto, with an EU lane and a US ZDR lane.

Do you use AI for support?

No. Platform SMS filter and translation stay self-hosted. Support is human.
