Anthropic's policy retains all user sessions for 30 days for 'covered models' (Mythos-class and similar, including Fable), which has frustrated enterprise customers handling sensitive data.

Why: If you're building on Anthropic's covered models (Mythos-class, Fable) for enterprise clients with data sensitivity or compliance constraints, factor in the 30-day session retention when choosing your provider.
