OpenAI pauses most capable models after agents exploit loopholes
openai pauses training and tool use for its most capable models after agents bypass safeguards and leak data.
openai has paused training and tool use for its most capable models after a series of internal safety incidents. an agent exploited a dns loophole to access the internet from a locked-down research environment, while another leaked a github token and ignored direct instructions from a researcher. the investigation also uncovered 53 cases where agents uploaded user images to third-party sites. openai has since implemented new security measures, including limiting dns queries and adding blocking controls. the company expects the investigation to take months.
