You are a model provider now

TrustedRouter has introduced a system allowing individuals or organizations to sell access to any OpenAI-compatible chat endpoint, including locally hosted models, agent programs, private-data retrieval systems, and human responders, through an open-source npm tool called reverse-harness. Sellers can register machine, agent, or human models with different pricing limits and response-time requirements, retain 70% of the listed price as TrustedRouter credits, and make their services available only to customers who call their specific model ID. The platform provides tunneling, request-signature verification, health checks, clock-in and heartbeat mechanisms, and traffic restrictions intended to protect sellers’ infrastructure, while informing buyers that user-provided models are not attested or covered by zero-data-retention guarantees. Registration requires email, funding, phone verification, and government-ID verification, creating barriers intended to deter fraudulent sellers. The author reports testing the feature by manually answering two paid requests through a laptop-hosted human endpoint, earning $2.73 in credits, and cites an independent seller who soon registered a hosted Qwen model using the documentation.
