Risk statements
“High” · Precautionary
The results indicate that neither GPT-Image-2.5-Sunburst nor GPT-Image-2.5-Flare cross the Bio High threshold or the Cyber High threshold. We, regardless and as done in GPT-Images 2.0, take a precautionary approach and apply mitigations appropriate for a model treated as High capability in the biological-risk domain.
