OpenAI will require approval for model routers and AI gateways from 20 Nov
Sorted AI25 OctOpenAI says it is updating its Usage Policies, effective 20 November 2026. Services that give direct access to its models, such as model routers or AI gateways, will need OpenAI's review and approval before offering that access. Partners that host or resell OpenAI models must keep safeguards consistent with OpenAI's own, investigate possible violations and coordinate on enforcement. OpenAI is also working with customers on SafetyIDs, which help it tell individual end users apart in a misuse investigation without OpenAI learning who they are.
Why it matters: If you reach OpenAI models through a router or gateway, ask your provider before 20 November whether it has OpenAI's approval. If you run your own app on the API, look at SafetyIDs so misuse by one user can be handled more precisely.
