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.

It will also cause a lot of trouble for companies with specific data access policies (probably most large companies). My money is on this new thing getting gutted very quickly as they figure out how much this constraint cuts into their bottom line.

Well, they already had.

Not in the same way.

A customer could sign a ZDR agreement with Anthropic, and their API usage wouldn't be retained for even a day. That's no longer possible.
