This is a safety system card published by OpenAI describing the pre-deployment evaluation process for GPT-5.5, a large language model designed for agentic tasks including coding, online research, document creation, and multi-tool workflows. The document states that GPT-5.5 was evaluated using OpenAI's Preparedness Framework with targeted red-teaming focused on advanced cybersecurity and biology capabilities, and that the model is being released with what the document describes as OpenAI's strongest set of safeguards to date. The card was updated after initial publication to add information about API deployment safeguards for both GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro.
This system card governs the pre-deployment safety evaluation and release posture of GPT-5.5, a large language model developed by OpenAI, and describes the safety and risk assessment frameworks applied prior to public deployment. The document states that OpenAI subjected the model to its full suite of pre-deployment safety evaluations and its Preparedness Framework, including targeted red-teaming for advanced cybersecurity and biology capabilities, and collected feedback from nearly 200 early-access partners. The document discloses that GPT-5.5 Pro uses the same underlying model as GPT-5.5 but operates with parallel test-time compute, and that OpenAI generally treats GPT-5.5 safety results as proxies for GPT-5.5 Pro except where the setting is judged to materially impact risk or safeguard posture. The document engages with emerging AI governance frameworks, including the EU AI Act and voluntary safety commitment structures, given its explicit treatment of pre-deployment red-teaming, capability evaluations for dual-use risks in cybersecurity and biology, and structured partner feedback collection. The system card was updated on April 24, 2026 to include additional API deployment safeguard disclosures, indicating an iterative disclosure process that compliance teams monitoring API-access governance should track.
