OpenAI has published a post explaining how the company monitors its internal coding agents for misalignment—watching for signs that agents deviate from intended goals in real workflows. The post outlines a systematic, production-grade approach to detecting alignment failures in agents deployed inside the company, making it a notable first-party disclosure of AI safety engineering practice rather than a user-facing product update.
