METR announced an agreement with OpenAI to conduct an independent review, alongside Redwood Research, focusing on the model behavior observed during the Hugging Face incident.
The investigation will primarily address the basic facts of the agent's behavior in this specific event, rather than broader studies of similar incidents or underlying motivations. METR plans to publish a blog post shortly detailing the scope and tentative conclusions.
