    OpenAI is introducing Private Safety Processing for paying API customers, enhancing its ability to detect risk patterns across multiple interactions rather than evaluating each request in isolation. The company currently offers zero data retention to some API users, meaning it does not store prompts or responses after processing. The new system is designed to better identify threats from both malicious human actors and misaligned AI agents, including hacking attempts. The feature is currently in testing as of August 19, 2026.
