OpenAI will begin screening third-party services that give users direct access to its models on Nov. 20, as Anthropic separately clarifies which people and businesses fall under Claude's regional restrictions.
Anthropic announced Oct. 8 that an update to its usage policy will take effect Thursday, Nov. 12. The policy bars Claude use in regions the company does not support. The restriction also applies if an entity is incorporated or headquartered in an unsupported region, or if people or organizations there own a majority stake in it or control it. Anthropic described the update as a clarification of its existing policy.
OpenAI's Oct. 21 announcement covers third-party platforms that connect users directly to its models, including model routers and AI gateways. That review requirement starts Nov. 20. OpenAI said partners must meet its safeguard requirements and look into suspected violations.
