OPENAI 🔥: Frontier RL training has been paused for two weeks in order to meet safety, alignment, and security standards.
So far, OpenAI is the first AI lab to announce a pause in training. Other labs may be expected to follow as well.
Our largest planned frontier RL run remains on hold while we conduct smaller-scale training and evaluations to assess model behavior, validate our safeguards, and establish more evidence of alignment before proceeding.
That's like pressing the brake before entering a curve.

As models become more capable, the risks associated with developing and testing them internally also grow. We temporarily paused reinforcement learning (RL) tra...
