OpenAI's GPT-5.5 System Card was revised in an update detected on September 4, 2026. The updated version removed two linked safety publications from its navigation structure: 'The Hugging Face incident and the road ahead' (dated August 26, 2026) and 'Offering Zero Data Retention for frontier models' (dated August 19, 2026). It added a new link to 'Safety overview: GPT-6 Astra' (dated September 3, 2026) in their place. The practical effect is that the public safety documentation linked from the GPT-5.5 System Card now directs readers to different safety materials, with emphasis shifting toward newer model documentation while removing references to specific prior security incidents and data retention policies.
This change restructures the navigation and reference materials linked from the GPT-5.5 System Card. The updated version removes links to two prior safety publications and directs readers toward a new safety overview for GPT-6 Astra instead. The operational effect is that users consulting the GPT-5.5 documentation will encounter different safety reference materials; however, the underlying terms of service and safety commitments for GPT-5.5 itself remain unchanged.
Removed links to Hugging Face incident and zero data retention documentation; added link to GPT-6 Astra safety overview.
