OpenAI's "Privacy Filter": The Open-Weights Release Everyone Missed

OpenAI just dropped a privacy filter model under the radar this week, and it might be one of the most overlooked releases of the year, but not for the reason you'd think.

In this video I break down OpenAI's new open-weight PII redaction model, why it matters, and how I rebuilt my own privacy-first document tool with it.

After spending two years trying to solve this exact problem myself, I can tell you this is better than anything I built and better than anything else available right now.
