> To ensure we’re responsibly deploying Mythos-class models, we are requiring limited data retention and review as part of our safety work. Prompts submitted to, and outputs generated by, Mythos-class models are retained for 30 days for trust and safety purposes, on every platform where these models are offered. [1]

While this makes it easier for Anthropic to detect misuse, it also means that the US government and other parties have access to every message and response from every user.
This applies even with API usage through third-party inference providers (e.g. AWS' Bedrock and GCP's Vertex) or with a zero-day data retention agreement in place.
I understand the reasoning for doing this, but I don't love the precedent that it sets.
