AI model router with verifiably confidential compute behind one OpenAI-compatible API
TrustedRouter is an AI model-routing company operated by Lore Hex Corp, a Delaware corporation headquartered in Miami, and founded by CEO Joseph Perla, a former Facebook engineer and early Lyft hire. It gives developers one OpenAI-compatible API for hundreds of models served across multiple providers, with routing controls for price, reliability, region and privacy, no prompt or output logging, a published open-source gateway, and live hardware-attestation evidence so customers can verify the code running on the prompt path, including confidential computing for some open-weight models. It launched publicly in 2026 and, according to Semafor, closed a $6 million seed round led by Sierra Ventures in October 2026.
