[Zhipu's Latest Statement: MaaS Platform to Launch Zero Data Retention, Input and Output Will No Longer Be Stored] Beating AI News Flash: Zhipu's MaaS platform has announced that it will soon launch a 'Zero Data Retention' feature. Once users apply for activation, the input and output of general model calls will no longer be statically stored on the platform side, and data will only be used to complete the current call. However, not all data will be excluded from retention. Functions requiring persistent data, such as Batch API and File API, are not covered; requests suspected of violations or abuse may also be retained for 30 days or longer. This type of mechanism is commonly referred to as ZDR (Zero Data Retention). Model platforms such as OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and Mistral have already implemented similar features. It is primarily designed for sensitive data, such as code and enterprise documents, that users prefer not to remain on model providers' servers. Recently, Zhipu's ZCode faced controversy for defaulting to upload user repository data. Zhipu has publicly apologized and promised to open-source its code for review. Today, another company issued a formal letter requesting Zhipu to clarify the whereabouts and deletion status of the uploaded data. Zhipu has not indicated whether this MaaS modification is related to the ZCode incident. [Original Link]
