OpenAI says limited internal use of a long-running model exposed new failure modes that its existing pre-deployment evaluations did not catch, so it paused access.
The company says it used those failures to build new evaluations, improve long-horizon alignment, add trajectory-level monitoring, and give users more visibility and control before restoring limited access.
