The updated policies require partners that provide access to OpenAI models to maintain safeguards consistent with OpenAI's own and to coordinate on enforcement. Services giving direct model access, like model routers or AI gateways, must now get OpenAI's review and approval before offering it. OpenAI is also working with customers to introduce SafetyIDs, which help distinguish individual end users in misuse investigations without OpenAI learning their identities. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
