# noarchive

In short

A robots meta directive. Bing reads it today as the opt-out from AI training; Amazon reads it as "do not use the page for model training". It matters for Bing, which has no robots.txt training token yet; the guide on training opt-outs covers the gap. Example: Amazon says its bots honour noarchive as do not use the page for model.
