Bloomberg reports Sam Altman told OpenAI staff the company may slow frontier-model development, potentially in step with other AI labs.
- OpenAI already paused deployment-focused RL training for two weeks and held its largest planned frontier RL run while testing stronger safeguards.
- The company estimates its monitoring system consumes roughly 20% extra inference compute, making advanced-model testing significantly more expensive.
