OpenAI claims its zero-data-retention offering removes persistent API-data storage for eligible frontier-model workloads, potentially enabling privacy-sensitive organizations to deploy those models in production.

Bryce Watson documents — backed by Anthropic's own settings docs and a measured pre-May deletion floor on his machine — that Claude Code's cleanupPeriodDays default silently deletes session transcripts after 30 days, and whether Anthropic surfaces or changes the default, or the silent purge stands as a recognized data-loss hazard that transcript-based memory, audit, and provenance workflows must route around, resolves the episode.
