In depth
A system card is a detailed safety and capability report that a frontier lab publishes with a model release, extending the model card idea from the model to the whole deployed system. Anthropic says its system cards document the capabilities, safety evaluations, and deployment decisions for each Claude model, and OpenAI publishes similar documents for its releases. They usually cover benchmark results, red-teaming, misuse and alignment testing, and the safeguards applied. Caveats such as benchmark contamination or degraded behavior often appear there first.
