Rumors on LinkedIn claim that ChatGPT is no longer allowed to give medical or legal advice, but OpenAI says that’s false. The company says the model’s behavior has not changed. Karan Singhal, OpenAI’s Head of Medical AI, says ChatGPT was never meant to replace expert advice, but can still help users understand complex medical or legal topics.
OpenAI’s usage policy change logs show no recent changes to how sensitive topics are handled. The most recent update on October 29, 2025, was made to "reflect a universal set of policies across OpenAI products and services."
OpenAI’s usage policy change logs show no recent changes to how sensitive content is handled. The latest update on October 29, 2025, was made to unify the rules across all products. A line warning about giving advice that “requires a license” was already in earlier versions. Older policies included similar notes, just without the licensing reference.
OpenAI has signed a $38 billion multi-year deal with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to run and expand its AI models using AWS infrastructure. The partnership includes access to AWS UltraServers powered by hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs and scalable CPUs. The agreement runs through at least 2026, with extension options. OpenAI's flagship models, such as GPT-5, will remain exclusive to Microsoft Azure and OpenAI's own platform, except for its open-source models.
The AWS deal adds to a string of recent partnerships by OpenAI: with Nvidia and Broadcom for at least 10 gigawatts of compute each, AMD for up to 6 gigawatts, and Oracle for 4.5 gigawatts.
OpenAI is piloting Aardvark, a security tool built on GPT-5 that scans software code for vulnerabilities. The system is designed to work like a security analyst: it reviews code repositories, flags potential risks, tests whether vulnerabilities can be exploited in a sandbox, and suggests fixes.
In internal tests, OpenAI says Aardvark found 92 percent of known and intentionally added vulnerabilities. The tool has also been used on open source projects, where it identified several issues that later received CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) numbers.
Aardvark is already in use on some internal systems and with selected partners. For now, it's available only in a closed beta, and developers can apply here. Anthropic offers a similar open source tool for its Claude model.
