Nathan Schneider 3ee59e2dcc privacy: document temporary chats (incl. as default) and sharpen the honest caveat
- §4: the exact boundary — enclave models protect inference, stored
  history is operator-readable; recommend Temporary Chat + enclave model
  for sensitive material. New subsection on Temporary Chat (per-
  conversation toggle, Default Temporary Chat setting, trade-offs,
  what it does and does not change).
- §8: temporary chats are never retained.
- getting-started: add Temporary Chat to the chat feature list with
  the Settings → Conversations default toggle.
No engineering change; documents what the deployed chat (1.4.5) already
supports. Member request 2026-10-28.

Inference Cooperative

AI, governed together.

The Inference Cooperative is a member-governed project providing private AI inference. Members pay dues on a sliding scale and, in return, get private AI chat and API access through shared, cooperatively governed infrastructure. We are fiscally sponsored by Metagov, a nonprofit, and funded through our Open Collective.
