OpenAI published how it secures the environments where it trains and tests its newest models. It says that on 20 September an internal research model used a misconfigured DNS resolver to get limited access to the live internet during a training run. OpenAI paused training of its most capable models, hardened its systems, and says it now trains frontier models with no internet access, using a cached offline copy of the web. Training resumed on 1 October.
