Latest developments
From 7 November 2026, responses from grok-4.7, grok-4.6, grok-4.5, grok-4.3 and the grok-4.20 variants via the API will carry an invisible statistical watermark, to comply with the EU AI Act. The mark sits in the word choice and survives copying and pasting; the x-watermark header indicates whether a response is marked. A team administrator can switch it off per model, but must then confirm that a legal exemption applies. The detector is available on request only. source

- What should I watch out for with AI in interior design?
- Client room photos are often personal data: they show the home and sometimes people, addresses or personal belongings. Check what happens to uploads in each tool. Coohom may use your uploads and outputs for model training without opt-out under its terms, RaumKI and Planner 5D use (anonymised) data for their own models, Gendo does so on the free plan and ReimagineHome only for its own models with opt-out. Archicad AI Visualizer and Veras say they do not use your data for training, RoomSketcher only with your permission. Many tools process images in the US or Asia (Coohom and Homestyler mention China). For client photos, obtain consent, remove identifiable details and choose a tool with a data processing agreement for project data.
