Zhipu said its MaaS platform will soon roll out a "data not retained" option, allowing approved users to run standard model calls without static storage of inputs and outputs on the platform side. The company said the data would be used only to complete the current request. The change does not apply across the board. Features that require persistent storage, including Batch API and File API, are excluded, and requests suspected of violations or abuse may still be retained for 30 days or longer. The setup is commonly known as ZDR, short for Zero Data Retention, a model-serving approach already offered by platforms such as OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and Mistral. The feature is mainly aimed at sensitive data scenarios, including code and enterprise documents that users do not want stored on model vendors' servers. The update comes as Zhipu is still facing scrutiny over ZCode, after the product drew criticism for uploading user repository data by default. Zhipu has publicly apologized and said it would open-source the product for review. BlockBeats also reported that another company sent a letter on the same day asking Zhipu to explain where previously uploaded data went and how it would be deleted. Zhipu did not say the MaaS change was related to the ZCode dispute.
Zhipu said its MaaS platform will soon launch a "data not retained" feature.
After users apply for access, inputs and outputs from standard model calls will no longer be stored statically on the platform side, according to the company. The data will be used only to complete the current call.
The policy does not cover all data. Functions that require persistent storage, including Batch API and File API, are excluded. Requests suspected of violations or abuse may also be switched to retention and kept for 30 days or longer.
ZDR already used by several model platforms
This type of setup is commonly called ZDR, or Zero Data Retention. BlockBeats said OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and Mistral already offer similar options.
ZDR is mainly designed for sensitive data such as code and enterprise documents that users do not want left on model providers' servers.
ZCode controversy remains in focus
Zhipu's ZCode recently came under criticism for uploading user repository data by default. Zhipu has since issued a public apology and said it would open-source the product for external review.
BlockBeats reported that another company sent a letter on the same day asking Zhipu to explain the destination of previously uploaded data and the status of its deletion.
Zhipu did not say the MaaS platform change was tied to the ZCode incident.
