OpenAI's GPT-5.5 System Card was detected as updated on August 19, 2026. The change modified the featured content links in the document's header section, replacing three dated articles (published August 10, August 1, and July 29, 2026) with two newer articles published August 18, 2026, including new content on 'Pacing model development in an era of cyber-critical capabilities' and 'Introducing ChatGPT for Teens'. The System Card itself, which documents safeguards for GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro deployment, remains substantively unchanged; only the curated links to related resources were updated.
This change affects which articles are featured in the System Card's reference section. The substantive safeguards and deployment information for GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro remain unchanged. The newly featured articles address model development pacing in high-risk contexts and ChatGPT's application to teenage users, which may provide additional context on OpenAI's governance approach, but the change itself is a resource curation update rather than a policy or safeguard modification.
Header section updated to reference new Aug 18, 2026 articles on model pacing and ChatGPT for Teens instead of earlier published content.
