What AI vendors changed, Oct 12 to 18, 2026.

Redline is a free weekly email from Xither: what AI vendors changed on the pages they publish (model retirements, changelogs, pricing, sub-processor lists and DPAs) and what they filed with the SEC, each line quoted with its source and the date it was read.

Every line below is quoted from the vendor's page or the SEC filing. Highlighted words were added; struck words were removed.

Model retirements first recorded this week

Rows of vendors' retirement and deprecation tables that we read for the first time this week, each with the date the vendor gives.

About Xither

Xither keeps dated, hashed copies of the pages AI vendors publish about customer data: sub-processor lists, data processing agreements, privacy and trust pages.

When we read a change to one that a company depends on, we tell them that morning, with the lines that moved, the vendor’s quoted clause and the date its window to object closes. www.xither.com
