GPT-5.3 adds Instant System Card capability
AI Impact Summary
GPT-5.3 Instant System Card enables attaching a system-level instruction payload at session start, ensuring consistent behavior across conversations. The capability reduces the manual setup required for policy enforcement and tone controls in multi-tenant deployments. Clients must adapt their integrations to provide or enable a System Card when initializing sessions to realize the full benefits. If system cards conflict with user prompts or are omitted, behavior may diverge across sessions.
