OpenAI revised the GPT-5 System Card on September 5, 2026 by updating internal content references and links. The change removed a reference to 'Offering Zero Data Retention for frontier models' and replaced a link to 'Path to Astra: critical capabilities and frontier safeguards' with a new 'Safety overview: GPT-6 Astra Safety' resource. These modifications reflect updated internal documentation navigation and do not alter the substantive safety assessment or risk evaluation language of the System Card itself.
This change updates internal documentation links within OpenAI's GPT-5 System Card but does not modify the substantive safety assessment or operational terms governing the model. The revised references point to updated safety resources, but the core risk evaluation language remains unchanged.
