Gemini API now stores Generate Content requests by default for new paid-tier projects

Tue, Oct 27 00:00 UTC+8

Google's Gemini API changelog says that from Oct 26, new paid-tier projects using the Generate Content API (generateContent, streamGenerateContent, batchGenerateContent) store requests by default (store=true), matching the Interactions API. Existing projects keep their setting; developers can opt out with store=false or in the Logs and Datasets settings.

Why it matters

A storage-on default changes data-retention and compliance assumptions for apps built on Gemini; new projects handling sensitive data need to check and opt out explicitly.
