Assessment

Editor with hosted AI: low

Reasoning: A code editor with built-in AI. No training on code or prompts, per-request discard and zero-retention agreements with the model providers, with telemetry that can be switched off. Region is not stated, and the exception for some provider models means retention is not always zero.

Flags: Some provider-designated models keep short-term safety logs · Relay region not stated · Assessed 2026-09-16. The assessment is Unseen's; the terms above are the vendor's.
