Background & analysis
On 2026-10-27, a V2EX user compiled details from an OpenAI policy page revealing an update to OpenAI's usage policies. According to the compilation, the new policy takes effect on 2026-11-20. It requires model routers and AI gateways to obtain OpenAI review and approval before granting access, and mandates that partners adopt security safeguards consistent with OpenAI standards and investigate violations. The policy also explicitly prohibits using OpenAI models or their outputs to prepare, filter, or provide training data for models that replace or compete with OpenAI, including building training tasks, reinforcement learning environments, and providing scoring signals. Additionally, it urges partners and the industry to establish mandatory reporting mechanisms for AI safety incidents. At present, this user-compiled summary is the only available source, pointing to an openai.com usage policy page, and no official OpenAI announcement was provided.
