Zhipu MaaS Launches No-Data-Retention Mode

KEY FACTS

  • Zhipu's MaaS platform is introducing a no-data-retention feature that users can apply to activate.
  • Once enabled, the platform will not statically store inputs or outputs, using data solely for the current model call.
  • The mechanism does not cover Batch API, File API, or scenarios requiring compliance-mandated retention.
  • ZCode previously apologized for codebase indexing issues and has since completed its self-audit and fixes.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Zhipu’s move addresses community privacy concerns by technically reducing data leak risks. However, this is not absolute anonymity, as compliance requirements and specific APIs still retain data. For enterprises, this signals a critical balance between AI capability and data security, suggesting that 'configurable privacy' may become an industry standard.
