Deleted Post Alleges OpenAI Employees Probed Quiet Model Downgrades Tied to 'Suspicious' User Flags
LiquidVolatility · reddit · 2026-09-17
A Reddit user is crowdsourcing a deleted screenshot allegedly from an OpenAI employee's account, claiming the company was investigating whether its system degrades users' model quality based on 'suspicious activity' flags — meaning users could have been silently served a much lower-quality model. Both the original tweet and Reddit post have been deleted. The claim is unverified and its key evidence is gone, so treat it with caution.
