It depends. If you have a Claude Code subscription then it defaults to an hour, if you use Claude via an API or third party then it defaults to 5 minutes. You can opt-in to the 1 hour TTL but it obviously costs more.

That article is well over a year old. The current privacy FAQ right now explicitly states:

> We never sell your personal data. Unlike other big tech companies that collect and profit off your personal information, we’re built with privacy as the default. We don’t know your age, gender, precise location, or other information Big Tech collects and profits from.

The foundation of this article is that the frontier models are going to keep advancing at the same rate, and therefore always be ahead of local ones. I dont believe this trend will continue. I think we are reaching the top of the S-curve.
