Privacy groups asked how the new data will be stored and for how long. The company says customer data is not used for training by default on business plans. Consumer plans have a setting that you should check.
Regulators have not commented yet. In the EU, new obligations for general-purpose models mean that documentation like this is now expected rather than optional.
What to watch next
Prices did not change, but limits did. Heavy users may hit the new caps sooner, especially when they upload large files or run long tasks in the background.
- API access at a separate price
- Available first to paid plans
- Independent tests are still limited
- No change to default privacy settings
What happened

Developers get the same capability through the API, with a separate price list. Several startups said they will update their products within days, which is usually how new features reach most people.
What changes for you
The practical advice is the same as always: try it on a low-stakes task first, check the output against a source you trust, and keep a human in charge of anything that matters.
Independent researchers were quick to test the claims. Early results broadly match what the company said, with the usual caveat: benchmarks measure narrow skills, and real work is messier than a test set.
