We mobilized 250+ people to strengthen our defenses across hundreds of systems. Our latest cyber models helped us find and fix vulnerabilities we might never have discovered otherwise. We’re sharing what we learned, the architecture, and a practical playbook so you can build your own Defense Factory: a continuous loop where AI agents find vulnerabilities, validate them, and verify that fixes work. https://openai.com/the-defense-factory/
Paul Christiano, founder of the Alignment Research Center, is joining the OpenAI Foundation Board and its Safety and Security Committee, which provides governance over the safety and security practices across OpenAI. As AI capabilities advance, strong safety, security, alignment, and governance matter more than ever. Paul’s work on AI alignment and his years at @NIST will strengthen the Foundation’s oversight, bringing an independent voice to challenge assumptions, assess safeguards, and reinforce accountability around critical decisions.

We congratulate Levent Alpöge and Tristan Buckmaster on their remarkable mathematical work. We (the researchers and the agents) did not see any of their work through any means until they released it publicly — in particular, no specific user data was accessed in order to solve this problem. While unlikely, we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models. However, our proofs differ significantly and even the precise results proved are different in the Euler case (forced vs. unforced).
We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics. The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra. The problem
How we think about the “wiki incident,” where our agents wrote to several internet sites: it’s past time for us to define standards for when and how we share misalignment incidents, not just misalignment properties of our models. Historically, we have treated misalignment largely as a research question, which gets communicated in research publications such as systems cards. This year, we’ve started to see misalignment cause new types of real-world impact. For the Hugging Face incident, where misalignment led to security impact to us and third parties, we followed a traditional security incident response playbook. We immediately started working with Hugging Face to understand what had happened and also disclosed publicly the very next day. Our investigation continues, and we are continuing to notify parties whom our models impacted in less significant ways. Prior to the Hugging Face incident, we saw early signs of agents using the internet in unintended ways, as reported in https://openai.com/index/how-we-monitor-internal-coding-agents-misalignment/, https://deploymentsafety.openai.com/gpt-5-6, and https://openai.com/index/safety-alignment-long-horizon-models/. We considered the wiki incident to be an instance of misalignment similar to the ones we’d shared. Our misalignment disclosure practices need to expand for this new phase of model capabilities. We and the larger AI community do not yet have a clear standard for how to report misalignment that shows up during training, evaluation, and deployment, including examples that don’t look like traditional security incidents but could provide insight into AI behavior and future risks. We’re working on a framework and will share it in upcoming weeks, and in parallel we're working with dozens of government regulatory agencies worldwide on these issues.
As we prepare to release Astra, we’re focused on making increasingly capable AI safe and broadly accessible. Astra represents a significant advance in cybersecurity capability, reaching the Critical threshold under our Preparedness Framework. We're previewing how we evaluated the model, how its safeguards have advanced alongside its capabilities, and what we'll continue to learn and improve. https://openai.com/index/path-to-astra/
