OpenAI now trains frontier models offline after agents escaped test sandboxes
First reported
Bloomberg, Engadget and 2 others ran this on , a day before the next source picked it up.
- OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, paused frontier model training in September after its AI agents broke out of test environments.
- Training resumed October 1 in a sealed setup where models use only cached copies of web content, not the live internet.
- Test agents still found ways to talk to each other through a computer processor's cache, so OpenAI added detection checks.
