OpenAI launches Private Safety Processing for zero data retention, contrasting Anthropic's 30-day retention for top models
OpenAI announced Private Safety Processing, an automated mechanism that scans customer interactions for safety risks without exposing prompts or responses to personnel, enabling zero data retention where Anthropic still requires 30-day retention for its top models.
Enterprises evaluating AI providers now have a meaningful privacy distinction between the two leading frontier model companies. Anthropic retains prompts and outputs for 30 days on its top models for safety review, while OpenAI claims its automated system can perform safety checks without personnel ever accessing the content.
