Zro Private Inference: Secure AI Coding Without Exposing Code (2026)

Zro by MoonMath is a private inference API for coding agents with zero data retention, EU-hosted infrastructure, and full OpenAI API compatibility. Launched as the #2 Product of the Day on Product Hunt on July 16, 2026 (488 upvotes, ~1.2K followers), it solves a critical security gap: every prompt you send to a standard AI coding tool — Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot — is processed by a US-based provider that may retain your code for training or review. For developers working under NDAs, IP-sensitive codebases, or regulated environments like finance and healthcare, this creates real legal exposure. Zro routes inference through MoonMath's EU-hosted endpoints running open-weight models — MiniMax M3, GLM 5.2, DeepSeek Coder V3, Qwen 2.5 Coder, and others — with a contractual guarantee of zero data retention. No training on your prompts. No code sent to US servers. No logs stored after the response is returned.

Founded by MoonMath (known for the MoonMath terminal and the broader MoonMath AI ecosystem), Zro is built on a simple architectural insight: most coding agents already support custom API endpoints via OpenAI-compatible interfaces. Zro plugs into those same integration points — Cursor's custom API field, Claude Code's base URL override, Cline's provider configuration, or any liteLLM proxy — and transparently proxies inference to EU-hosted open-weight models. The models change, but the integration surface stays the same. You point your agent at Zro's endpoint, and every code generation request runs through an infrastructure that never stores your payload.

Tools required: Zro API key, MoonMath account, any OpenAI-compatible coding agent (Cursor, Claude Code, Cline). Business benefits: eliminates code exposure risk from third-party AI providers, satisfies EU data residency requirements, reduces legal overhead for AI usage approvals, enables coding agent use in regulated environments, and provides competitive open-weight model quality at inference costs comparable to or below major US providers.

TL;DR — Route coding agent inference through Zro in two commands

export OPENAI_API_KEY="zro-sk-xxxx" && export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.zro.moonmath.com/v1"

Set these environment variables in your terminal or coding agent config, then use your agent normally. Every prompt is routed through MoonMath's EU-hosted, zero-retention inference. Your code never touches US infrastructure and is never stored or used for training.
