**Question for Elfsight’s Developers:**

Does Elsight’s chatbot LLM use a **fixed version** of GPT-5 mini that stays the same, or does it **automatically update** when OpenAI makes changes (e.g., GTP-5 mini V1.1, GPT-5 mini V1.2, etc.)?

**Example Case:**

If I have a strict rule today to hide employee names, could a background update to the AI model cause it to start ‘learning’ to ignore my rule next month? I need to know if the bot’s logic will stay exactly as instructed.

Thank you!

Our widget uses the latest version of ChatGPT-5 mini and updates automatically. No worries though, these updates won’t affect how the assistant follows your instructions 🙂
