Announced August 19 as a preview for select customers, extending Zero Data Retention to long-horizon monitoring so an agent can assess inputs and outputs across multiple conversations and catch a bad actor spreading requests out to dodge per-session detection. When triggered it emits a narrowly defined signal to OpenAI rather than the conversation, with any further sharing at the customer's discretion. TechCrunch It's aimed at Anthropic's July policy of retaining 30 days of sessions for Mythos-class models, which has annoyed enterprises handling sensitive data. Cross-session monitoring that retains nothing is a genuinely hard engineering claim, and I'd want to see the mechanism.
