OpenAI introduced a teen-focused ChatGPT mode that automatically blocks conversations about self-harm, eating disorders and other high-risk subjects while providing built-in studying features.

WHY IT MATTERS

The safety filters change how the model handles sensitive prompts, requiring developers to account for automatic truncation or redirection in teen-oriented deployments. The added study tools introduce new APIs or UI components that teams must integrate and test for educational use cases.
