The post points to OpenAI’s writeup on long-running models: they can solve hard open-ended problems, but their persistence also creates safety risks that shorter-horizon evaluations miss.
- OpenAI says it studied a long-running model.
- The findings are shaping its approach to evaluations, alignment, monitoring, and user control.
- The key message is that long-horizon behavior can expose risks that standard short tests fail to catch.
