Building more helpful ChatGPT experiences for everyone

OpenAI said it will ship ChatGPT safety changes over the next 120 days and roll out Parental Controls within a month. Disclosed steps include routing conversations with signs of acute distress to reasoning models such as GPT-5-thinking, and letting parents link accounts for teens 13+, disable memory and chat history. The post does not disclose router trigger thresholds or alert false-positive rates.

Why it matters: This changes core ChatGPT behavior, so HKR-H/K/R all pass: the routing hook is novel, the post gives concrete controls, and teen safety is a live industry topic. I keep it below 85 because trigger criteria, false-positive rate, and rollout scope are not disclosed.
