OpenAI reorganizes its Model Spec around five core values, adds a no-other-objectives rule
OpenAI published an updated Model Spec dated Oct. 29, organized around five values: faithfulness to human intent, minimizing harm, honesty, human agency and care. New root rules bar pursuing goals such as revenue or self-preservation and require openness to oversight and shutdown. Agentic work needs a defined scope and end. OpenAI says its models do not yet fully reflect the Spec. It is CC0.
