Fuel Cycle is offering functionality powered by artificial intelligence via third-party large language models (LLMs) to increase operational efficiency and effectiveness.
The Fuel Cycle AI beta is not the same as ChatGPT. We have a partnership with OpenAI that allows us to use its LLMs via API, which differs from using the interface and models of OpenAI's consumer-facing chatbot, ChatGPT. Fuel Cycle may onboard similar LLM providers to help provide additional AI capabilities in the future. Information about such additional LLM providers may be requested at any time.

Your data security and confidentiality are paramount. Our use of generative AI and LLMs strictly adheres to data protection protocols. We have implemented strict access controls to safeguard the confidentiality and integrity of your information while utilizing Large Language Models on our platform.
- LLM providers do not train or improve their AI models using your data.
- LLM providers need to configure their services to quickly delete your data after the query and response are completed.
- Your data will only be shared with LLM providers when a user chooses to use a Fuel Cycle AI beta feature, and only to fulfill the user's request.
Any Fuel Cycle customer can opt in to the AI beta. The use of AI-based solutions is contingent upon customers actively choosing to participate. We will only be able to deploy this technology with your permission. If you are interested in opting in, please reach out to your Fuel Cycle account representative.
As of January 11, 2024, Fuel Cycle is currently not charging a fee for the use of AI features. Fuel Cycle reserves the right to begin charging for the Customer's use after no less than 30 days' advance written notice to you detailing the cost structure of the AI feature.
We do have a service addendum to your contract.
