Sourcegraph and its AI partners will not use your code to train their AI models, unless you separately purchase a custom fine-tuning service.

This provision directly addresses a common concern with AI coding tools: whether proprietary code submitted to the service is used to improve models available to other users. The terms state this does not occur for Enterprise and Pro team users.
Interpretive note: The provision states commitments on behalf of Partner LLMs without detailing the contractual mechanism binding those third parties, creating some uncertainty about enforceability against Partner LLMs directly.
Enterprise and Pro team users' code is not used to train Sourcegraph's or Partner LLMs' general models under this provision. The carve-out for custom fine-tuning is limited to separately purchased services and is stated to be for the customer's proprietary use only.
