Cashmere to bring APA's 90 psychology journals to authorised AI apps for inference only — not training

What happened

On 10 November 2026, Cashmere — an infrastructure platform that connects premium publishers with AI companies — announced an agreement with the American Psychological Association (APA) to make APA's peer-reviewed psychology journals available to authorised AI applications for inference use cases.

The boundary: inference only, not training

Cashmere states its infrastructure makes publisher content available to AI applications strictly for inference, so AI tools can draw on authoritative source material without that content being used to train large language models. Publisher content is held in Cashmere's air-gapped infrastructure (SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR compliant), and a business-intelligence layer gives publishers insight into how their content is used.

Scope

APA's publishing programme includes 90 peer-reviewed journals, among them American Psychologist and Psychological Bulletin. No financial terms were disclosed. This is a licensing/inference-access agreement, not a training-data licence — the distinction is the point of the deal, and the body states it explicitly. The APA is the licensor; it is named throughout the body but is not yet a catalog company, so the Reviewer can link it.
