OpenAI reorganises its Model Spec around five core values

OpenAI has updated the Model Spec, its public description of how its models should behave, and grouped the guidance under five values: faithfulness to human intent, harm minimisation, honesty and transparency, human agency, and care. New sections cover how context such as conversations and memories should inform answers, an updated chain of command for deciding which instructions apply, and expanded guidance on side effects. OpenAI is also retiring most of its detailed style guidance so tone can adapt to what people prefer, and it says its models do not yet fully reflect the Spec.
