- Added: Servers , Dedicated Endpoints , and Shared Endpoints have zero data retention. Request and response payloads are never written to disk and pass through Modal only as in-flight network traffic.
- Added: For Servers, anything written to stdout or stderr is retained as container logs for your plan's log retention period , so ensure that your code does not log request or response payloads.
- Removed: Dedicated and Shared inference endpoints have zero data retention. Request and response payloads are never written to disk and pass through Modal only as in-flight network traffic.
