What

The generic Usage Policy refusal now says the model can't help and tells you to start a new session to continue, instead of the older longer text. A learn-more/feedback line is appended, and it differs depending on whether you are running through the SDK or interactively.

Details
  • the generic refusal names the model and directs you to start a new session
  • the cyber-topic variant is reworded around "safeguards flagged this message"
  • applies to everyone, no gate
Evidence

can't help with this. Start a new session to continue.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
