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.
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
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.
System cards provide users and deployers with model-specific safety evaluation disclosures. The document authorizes access to these cards through linked publications, and each card may contain materially different risk disclosures depending on the model version.

"GPT-5.3-Codex System Card ... GPT-5 System Card ... OpenAI o3 and o4-mini System Card ... Sora 2 System CardExcerpt from OpenAI's Safety Standards
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: System cards engage with EU AI Act transparency and technical documentation requirements for general-purpose AI models, as well as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. The EU AI Act may require deployers to maintain records of AI system characteristics and capabilities, for which system cards serve as a primary reference. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. System cards are voluntary disclosures; their legal status as binding representations of model behavior has not been established by authoritative legal sources. Gaps between system card disclosures and actual model behavior could create exposure under consumer protection frameworks. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA jurisdictions present heightened exposure under the EU AI Act. Organizations deploying OpenAI models in high-risk application categories should assess whether system card disclosures satisfy EU AI Act Article 53 obligations for general-purpose AI model providers, noting that specific article applicability should be verified against current regulatory text. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise agreements with OpenAI should be reviewed to assess whether system card disclosures are incorporated by reference and whether updates to system cards constitute material changes to service terms. The document does not specify whether system card updates trigger notification obligations to enterprise customers. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should identify which specific model version is deployed within their environment, retrieve the corresponding system card and any applicable addenda, and assess whether the documented risk profile is consistent with the organization's internal AI risk management policies.
