Z.AI (02513) open-sources ZCode, formally responds to code data controversy

According to Z.AI (02513), the company today officially open-sourced its AI programming tool ZCode. Previously, some developers reported that when using ZCode, certain code workspaces and Git history data were uploaded to the cloud. Z.AI responded that the issue stemmed from the "code repository indexing" feature, which is enabled by default, and that the data was mainly used to generate Repo Wiki. The relevant mechanism has now been fixed. The company has also invited the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology to conduct a security audit. Regarding the data upload controversy surrounding ZCode, Z.AI has issued a series of responses. The Z.AI MaaS platform announced on the evening of September 20 that it will soon launch a "no data content retention" feature. Once the feature takes effect, the platform will no longer statically store user inputs and outputs, and the relevant data will only be used to complete the current model invocation. Features that require persistent tasks or files, such as Batch API and File API, are not covered. In scenarios such as those required by laws and regulations for retention and violation investigations, data may still be stored for 30 days or more.
