OpenAI updated the GPT-5.5 System Card on April 24, 2026, to include safeguards information. In an update detected on July 18, 2026, a single sentence was modified in the card's reference section. The change replaced a link to one safety-related article (Separating signal from noise in coding evaluations, July 8) with a different safety article (Why teens deserve access to safe AI, July 16). This affects which recent safety publications are highlighted in the system card's navigation.
This change does not materially affect how GPT-5.5 operates or the terms under which it is used. The system card is internal documentation that describes the model's safety properties and design decisions. The modification updates which safety-focused articles are linked in the card's reference section, shifting the highlighted content from coding evaluation methodology to teen access considerations. This does not establish new user rights, restrictions, or obligations.
