OpenAI states that all GPT-5 model variants incorporate a safety training approach called safe-completions, which the document describes as designed to prevent disallowed content from being produced.
This analysis describes what OpenAI's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This provision establishes a uniform safety training layer applied across all GPT-5 model variants, including those accessed via the API, which may affect the range of outputs available to developers and enterprise users building applications on the platform.
Interpretive note: The document does not define the scope of disallowed content covered by safe-completions, the testing methodology used, or how the mechanism interacts with developer-level API customization, making independent assessment of its operational scope uncertain.
This provision establishes that safe-completions governs output generation across all GPT-5 models, meaning queries that would produce disallowed content as defined by OpenAI's policies will be restricted regardless of which model variant or access method is used.
