Background & analysis
On October 29, 2026, OpenAI updated its Model Spec, reorganizing the document around five values. According to a Techmeme archive snapshot, the site appeared that way at 2:00 PM ET on October 29, 2026, and the news of the update circulated in the early hours of October 30 Beijing time.
OpenAI News reported that the updated Model Spec lists five core values meant to guide more capable AI toward sound judgment, respect for human agency, and faithfulness to human intent, though its summary did not detail which provisions changed.

OpenAI said that as models get smarter and take more consequential actions in the world, these principles become increasingly important.
Public reporting so far covers only the reorganization itself: the names of the five values and OpenAI's statement are on record, while details of other specific provisions remain undisclosed.
