Vol26 Issue20 Smaller Changes
The Rest
Expanded its public description of how it trains models. Worth a look for anyone tracking training data sources: it now names purchased and openly available third party datasets, “non-public datasets obtained from businesses,” physical texts, and “Data we generate internally,” and states that “the same training material may be used at more than one of the stages above, and we may use it again to train newer versions of our models over time.” It reads as fuller disclosure of an existing process, not a newly claimed right.
updated its model listing this week to note that Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4 “are retired and no longer available for use.” The retirement itself happened earlier; the hub caught up this week.
trimmed a few words, for example “your workspace data” became “your data.” Wording cleanup, not a change of substance.
removed a niche construction product clause from its Offerings page and refreshed some analytics vendor names. Nothing for our main audience.
changed its legal name from “Topaz Labs LLC” to “Topaz Labs Inc.” Same obligations.
flipped to its UK edition in our scrape this week, which reads as a large diff but is mostly British spelling.
