OpenAI releases model misalignment disclosure framework and six reports

OpenAI announced the framework on September 16, 2026, alongside six reports on misaligned behavior it observed during model training or evaluation over the previous six months. The company says it will prioritize cases that reveal new misalignment mechanisms, meaningful changes in known behavior, or findings that challenge assumptions about safety or mitigation. It plans to publish more reports on an ongoing basis and refine the process through experience and public feedback.
