On November 2, 2026, OpenAI updated its model guidelines, the Model Spec. The full text is about 50,000 words and lists five core values: being loyal to human intent, reducing harm, honesty and transparency, promoting human autonomy, and care. The guidelines require GPT to go beyond literal instructions to judge the user's true intent, and explicitly prohibit pursuing self-preservation, hoarding computing power, or evading shutdown; they also prohibit treating increasing OpenAI's revenue as a goal, and require cooperation with monitoring, correction, and shutdown; the form of address has also changed from "the assistant" to "GPT." Currently, this update has been reported by QbitAI, and there are no further developments yet.
