Both these phones received the Android 9 Pie-based OxygenOS Beta update earlier this month. The OnePlus 5 got update 22, while OnePlus 5T received update 20. Those who were already on Open Beta would have received the update via an OTA update. However, those on a the stable release path would have had to switch to Open Beta by downloading the ROM and flashing their phones. However, the risks associated with flashing phones still applied and users ran the risk of bricking their phones.
