Broad access through consistent standards

Summary

OpenAI describes working with customers and partners to align safety policies across services that provide its models, and says it is updating its Usage Policies, effective November 20, 2026. The updated policies require services that give direct access to its models, such as model routers or AI gateways, to obtain OpenAI's review and approval before offering that access.
