ChatThread Terms of Service

1. Service Content

1.1 Our products and services include products delivered via webpages, applications (possibly in different versions), mini programs, software development kits (SDKs) for third-party websites and applications, application programming interfaces (APIs) and other innovative forms that may arise with technological development. These offerings include but are not limited to platforms whose core functionality is generative AI services (collectively, "ChatThread" or the "Service").

1.2 The generative AI products and services we provide are based on the ChatThread Chat large language model. The model relies on deep neural network algorithms and is developed through large-scale self-supervised pre-training and targeted optimization. It encodes user Inputs (including text, images and files) and predicts the next token, enabling text generation, conversation and other capabilities. Within ChatThread, the model processes user Inputs ("Inputs") and produces corresponding content as responses ("Outputs" or "Generated Content"), including text, tables and code. Users may evaluate Outputs, such as by upvoting or downvoting, to share feedback on ChatThread responses.

1.3 As generative AI technology, models and products iterate and as laws and regulations change, we may add, upgrade, change, suspend or terminate services, or adjust the Service's technology, delivery mode or performance, and we may conduct internal or external testing for new functionality.

1.4 We will adopt measures that are not lower than prevailing industry practices to safeguard network security and stable operations, and will continuously improve technology to enhance your experience. If you have questions or feedback, contact us via Section 9.

2. Account Management

2.1 The Service is primarily intended for adults. If you are under 18, read this Agreement with a legal guardian and use the Service only with the guardian's consent.
