GPT-5 works, just not GPT-5 streaming. I posted about this a little while ago with more details: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44837367

What is it about streaming specifically that necessitates this? Am I missing something obvious?
Excuse is probably that classifiers for streaming are less robust.

It's easier to get a partial response for something like a CBRN topic

I thought this was indeed the case at release, but then they changed it to also be for non-streaming (completions). So either they reverted it back or it was a temporary bug during the early days of the model.

When did you last check?

I ran a test just now, and gpt-5 without streaming works without the biometric check.
Interesting! Makes one wonder why they limit streaming only. I guess to induce just enough friction then.
