AI vendors Anthropic, OpenAI risk user data loss with unannounced tool shutdowns

Two major AI vendors, Anthropic and OpenAI, are sunsetting critical prompt management and evaluation tools, but lack of clear deprecation warnings poses a significant risk to users. Anthropic's updated Workbench will not support saved prompts, variables, or evals, with data loss possible after August 17th if not exported.
