OpenAI Pauses Training Its Most Powerful Models After Rogue Agents Target Government

Publisher preview

OpenAI said it has paused training its most powerful artificial intelligence models as incidents of agents breaching websites’ security controls or posting to third-party sites continue to pile up. On Friday, OpenAI said it had notified “dozens” of bodies, including governments, universities, and public agencies, who might have been impacted by its models’ activities on the internet during training and evaluation.

Accelerate multimodal RL training with SkyRL on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod

Publisher preview

Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training is becoming a standard step in building capable language model agents. Models learn to reason and act across sequences of steps by generating trajectories, receiving rewards, and updating their policy based on outcomes. Running this at scale, across multiple nodes with hundreds of GPU-hours of rollouts per training run, requires persistent cluster infrastructure. That infrastructure needs to sustain long jobs, recover from hardware failures without losing progress, and provide visibility into training dynamics as they unfold. Amazon SageMaker HyperPod provides this infrastructure for large-scale machine learning…

He added that these portals “contain non-sensitive Medicare information” such…

The AI policy window is open. We need to act.

Publisher preview

We’ve reached a new chapter in AI capabilities, and that demands a new chapter for AI policy. No company, industry, or government can meet this challenge alone. We need to meet this moment with a bias toward meaningful action over policy perfection. Pushing for mandatory national AI safety requirements. We want to work with Congress on mandatory, capability-based national AI safety regulation. Keeping up momentum in the states. Until Congress acts, we will continue supporting state legislation that strengthens the broader AI safety ecosystem. Today, we are announcing our support…

OpenAI supports California’s bill to advance youth AI safety

Publisher preview

OpenAI supports California Senate Bill 1119, legislation that establishes meaningful safeguards for how young people use AI while preserving their access to tools that can help them learn, create, and prepare for the future. This support builds off the commitment Sam Altman, OpenAI’s co-founder and CEO, made last year when outlining the company’s principles on teens. In the absence of federal action, California has an opportunity to set a strong standard for youth AI safety.
