**Release date: April 29, 2026**

## Model update for Public Sector customers

In alignment with U.S. Executive Branch guidance, the default large language model for Autopilot for Everyone in Automation Cloud Public Sector has changed from Claude Sonnet 4.5 to GPT-4o.

* Federal customers should configure an [AI Trust Layer Automation Ops policy](https://docs.uipath.com/automation-ops/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/settings-for-ai-trust-layer-policies) to disable Anthropic models across all tenants.
* State and Local customers not subject to federal guidance cancontinue using Anthropic models by enabling them via an AI TrustLayer Automation Ops policy. 
  
  To restore Claude Sonnet 4.5 as the Autopilot for Everyone default, contact UiPath Support.

Some workflows previously tuned for Claude Sonnet 4.5 may behave differently on GPT-4o. We recommend validating critical workflows after the transition.
