OpenAI restructures AI model guidelines: focusing on five core values, being faithful to human intent is the core
OpenAI has updated its "Model Spec," making fidelity to human intent the foundation of the framework and requiring models to understand the intentions and value orientations of users, developers, and OpenAI, rather than executing instructions literally. The revised framework also requires models to minimize harm, be transparent about what they know and do not know, and help users make decisions autonomously. OpenAI says current models do not yet fully embody these requirements and that it is exploring new training methods to help models internalize the principles.

OpenAI said that being loyal to human intent is the foundation of this framework, requiring models to understand the intentions and value orientations of users, developers, and OpenAI, rather than simply executing instructions literally.
OpenAI said this update is part of its AI alignment work, aimed at helping models apply human values in unfamiliar situations while always remaining subject to human oversight. The revised framework states that models should minimize harm, be transparent about what they know and do not know, and help users make their own decisions and pursue their own goals.
The company said that current models do not yet fully embody the requirements of the updated "Model Spec," and that it is exploring new training methods to help models internalize these principles into their own behavior.
