What it is

The document lists published system cards for multiple models including GPT-5, GPT-5.1-Codex-Max, GPT-5.2, GPT-5.3-Codex, Sora 2, o3, o4-mini, and associated addenda, which document model-specific safety evaluations, identified risks, and mitigation measures.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

System cards constitute OpenAI's primary per-model transparency disclosures, documenting safety evaluations, known limitations, and risk mitigation approaches for each named model. Deployers and enterprise customers using these models in regulated contexts should review the relevant system card to understand the documented risk profile of the specific model in use.

Interpretive note: System cards are listed by title but their full contents are not reproduced on this page; the operational significance of specific disclosures within each card requires review of the individual linked documents.
