OpenAI says GPT-5.6 uses stronger safeguards and offers a retry path on lower-capability models when benign work is blocked. That sounds practical, but it creates a subtle transparency problem: the user may ask one system a question and receive an answer from another capability tier. Routing can affect accuracy, refusal behavior, tool access, and even the assumptions behind the answer. If the switch is invisible, users cannot reproduce or properly evaluate the result. Should every answer disclose the exact model and safety route that produced it? Would that disclosure confuse most users, or is it essential for professional work?
