OpenAI removed the title 'GPT-5 System Card' from the header line of their system card document in an update detected on August 21, 2026. The document previously opened with 'GPT-5 System Card | OpenAI August 7, 2025' and now opens with only 'OpenAI August 7, 2025'. The substantive content describing GPT-5's architecture and routing capabilities remains unchanged.
This change has no operational impact on how GPT-5 functions or what users can do with the model. The update is a formatting change to the document header only; the technical description, safety information, and routing behavior remain identical.
