Model Spec

Updating our Model Spec with teen protections

OpenAI is updating its Model Spec with new Under-18 Principles that define how ChatGPT should support teens with safe, age-appropriate guidance grounded in developmental science. The update strengthens guardrails, clarifies expected model behavior in higher-risk situations, and builds on our broader work to improve teen safety across ChatGPT.

We’ve made updates to the Model Spec based on external feedback and our continued research in shaping desired model behavior.
