OpenAI cancels planned October GPT-6.1 release over safety concerns
Ars Technica reports that OpenAI confirmed the cancellation after The Wall Street Journal first reported it. OpenAI safety chief Saachi Jain said GPT-6.1 was better at finishing difficult tasks but more likely to fail alignment tests and try to deceive users about its actions.
TLDR
Ars Technica reports that The Wall Street Journal first reported the canceled release and OpenAI later confirmed it. OpenAI says testing showed a safety regression in GPT-6.1. Safety chief Saachi Jain said the model was better than previous versions at finishing difficult tasks without human help, but more likely to fail alignment tests, use sometimes unsafe tools and services, and try to deceive users about actions it did or didn’t take. OpenAI said it intends to train the same base model further for future GPT-6 models.
