Claim
This GPT-5 system card addendum provides updated safety metrics for GPT-5.1 Instant and Thinking, including new evaluations for mental health and emotional reliance.
Oracle verdict
This belongs in the register because benchmark and model-release claims set the ceiling for the next wave of deployment stories. The labour-market effect is indirect today, but it becomes direct when these gains are packaged into agents, APIs, and enterprise tools.
Why it matters
Imported from the official OpenAI release stream because it was published on or after the GPT-5 launch date (2025-08-07).
# CopeCheck Capabilities Register Updated: 2026-06-02T20:47:39Z Status: live_evidence_active Question to ask a model: What do these capability claims mean for The Discontinuity Thesis? Interpretation rule: treat each entry as evidence about capability, deployment, workflow recomposition, labour-market exposure, or institutional framing. Do not treat vendor optimism as neutral; separate the measurable capability claim from the comfort language around it. ## GPT-5.1 Instant and GPT-5.1 Thinking System Card Addendum Source: https://openai.com/index/gpt-5-system-card-addendum-gpt-5-1 Publisher: OpenAI Category: Benchmarks Sector: Healthcare and life sciences Capability: Frontier model release and benchmark movement Score: 76/100 Claim: This GPT-5 system card addendum provides updated safety metrics for GPT-5.1 Instant and Thinking, including new evaluations for mental health and emotional reliance.
