OpenAI says planned GPT-6.1 is too insecure to release
Similar performance, security trade-offs also seen in current public models.
Similar performance, security trade-offs also seen in current public models.
The short version
- OpenAI says it has canceled plans to release its updated GPT-6.1 model next month as it continues to investigate what testing shows is a safety regression compared to previous models.
- Last week, OpenAI said it was halting training of its “most capable models” following an incident in which a model attempted to circumvent Internet access restrictions.
- GPT-6.1 was not among those “most capable models” covered by that move, OpenAI told the WSJ.
What happened
And while GPT-6.1 won’t be released as is, the company said it intends to use the same base model for further training runs that it said will hopefully lead to future GPT-6 generation models. The delay in GPT-6.1’s public release comes at a delicate time for OpenAI’s public safety reputation.
Why it matters
Since the high-profile Hugging Face hacking incident this summer , OpenAI says it has notified dozens of third parties about potential incidents caused by its models in testing.
