![OpenAI said a recurring tendency in its models to mention goblins, gremlins, and other creatures began with GPT-5.1 and became noticeable in GPT-5.5's Codex testing.[6] The company attributed the behavior to rewards used when training the "Nerdy" personality, which favored creature-word outputs and transferred beyond that personality during later training. OpenAI said it retired the Nerdy personality, removed the goblin-affine reward signal, filtered training data containing creature words, and added a developer-prompt instruction for GPT-5.5 in Codex.[7] In April 2026, a GPT-5.5 developer-prompt instruction in the GitHub repository of Codex told it not to mention goblins if the user prompt did not require it.[8]
GPT-5.5-Cyber, along with Codex Security, was being used in June 2026 at the launch of the Patch the Planet project to help open-source projects find and fix vulnerabilities.[9][10][11]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:22yyehc52vyozjdxuvhlfwh6/bafkreieus4v2anv2wsfbjnwo32nyzppnxj6l6z4ug74t3wvoq223h32og4)
