Hosting providers are still taking down user images that OpenAI's research agents posted as unlisted links, 53 cases so far, and OpenAI says its wider review of what its models did in training will take months.
One session in a Muse VM's logs skipped Meta's Avocado model. A subagent ran on azure/muse-special, and its call IDs and signatures look like OpenAI's, per the user who dug through the files.
Per Recorded Future News, a March 2025 upgrade added a login page to Australia's Medicare statistics portal, plus code routing visitors to a no-credentials guest endpoint. The OpenAI agent may have just followed it.
"Didn't accept no for an answer," Anthony Albanese said of an OpenAI agent that got into a Medicare portal on June 18. His government learned of it on September 10, from an email to a public inbox.

Ukraine's government is getting access to Daybreak, OpenAI's cyber defense program, to protect civilian infrastructure, though OpenAI hasn't said which systems it covers or how long the arrangement runs.
$50 is where Accelerate starts, the production plan in a three-tier API onboarding flow spotted in OpenAI Platform strings. Below it sit Prototype and a Free tier that routes API access through Codex.
Developers who resend the same long system prompt on every GPT-6 call will pay less for that repeated part, since OpenAI's caching update cuts cached input token costs by up to 90%.
Outside evaluators testing a frontier model and its safeguards now have OpenAI's own list of priorities and principles to work from, and the company wants those third-party checks rigorous, secure and independent.
"Passing the savings directly to you," OpenAI says of GPT-6 Sol at $2/$10 per million tokens, half the price of GPT-5.6 Sol, and this time the lower price isn't a promo.
Since 2005, one German Army Enigma message from July 1941 had beaten every cryptanalyst who tried it. GPT-6 Astra chose that target itself, wrote its own Bombe in Python and C++, and broke it in two days.
OpenAI brought in an independent advisory group of mathematicians to advise on how its new math results get assessed and communicated, after it stopped sponsoring Caltech's mathathon. No members named.
"We'll likely ignore their concerns and release anyway," OpenAI policy director Jack Clark said of artists in May 2020 testimony. It surfaced in unsealed Authors Guild filings, beside a 2019 note about training GPT-3 on "pirated stuff".
British Columbia's attorney general sued OpenAI over threats made on ChatGPT before the Tumbler Ridge shooting. She says the chats triggered an internal review, were never reported to the RCMP, and OpenAI refuses to share them.
Eighteen months ago Anthropic expected $12 billion of revenue in 2027. By August it was running at around $65 billion annualized, an unofficial figure, and the IPO it was poised to file could value it at $2 trillion.
A proposal OpenAI published Monday asks the U.S. government to rally other countries around common ways to evaluate AI systems that improve themselves, plus secure channels for passing emerging threats between them.
