OpenAI updated the related-content links in the GPT-5 System Card on July 13, 2026. The previous version linked to three research articles (GeneBench-Pro, LifeSciBench, and an older 2025 System Cards reference). The updated version replaced two of those links with newer content, including an OpenAI Bio Bug Bounty Safety announcement from July 9, 2026 and a coding evaluation research piece from July 8, 2026. This change does not alter the substantive risk assessment or safety conclusions stated in the document itself.
This change updates the reference materials linked within OpenAI's GPT-5 System Card but does not modify the substantive safety findings, risk assessments, or terms governing use of the model. The updated links now point to recent safety research on biological harms and coding evaluation methodology. No new obligations or restrictions are imposed on users by this update.
The updated System Card now directs readers to OpenAI's newly launched Bio Bug Bounty Safety program and recent evaluation research. This provides current context for understanding how OpenAI is addressing biological harm risks, though the underlying safety methodology and risk thresholds stated in the card itself remain the same.
Updated links to recent safety research on biological harms and AI evaluation methodologies; substantive risk assessment language unchanged.
