After this change the quoted clause for retention, zero retention is no longer on the page. The answer is flagged until a person re-reads it.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
