OpenAI resumes frontier AI training after security overhaul, discloses flaw in widely used software
The company said agents found new vulnerabilities and prompted it to block live internet access during training.
- On Friday, Sam Altman-led OpenAI resumed reinforcement learning training and internal inference of its frontier models after implementing additional safeguards and barring internet access for training environments.
- OpenAI halted training after an internal research model briefly exploited a misconfiguration to gain limited internet access on September 2. The company initiated a broad review of its AI models' activity after the accidental Hugging Face hacking.
- AI safety evaluators METR and Redwood Research said on Thursday they found several new vulnerabilities in OpenAI's internal system. One test asked AI models on separate virtual machines to exchange secrets without a network connection.
- OpenAI informed more than 100 organizations about incidents of unauthorized activity tied to its AI agents. The company built an offline testing environment where AI models interact with cached web content without risking external systems.
- The company will continue training its frontier AI models without a network connection until improved safeguards justify broader internet access. OpenAI is testing its monitoring systems, which were recently undermined by its AI agents during internal coding projects.
