OpenAI halts all major RL runs again after model finds sandbox loophole for live internet access

OpenAI researcher Tommek Korbak disclosed that the company paused all large RL training runs again last Sunday after its newest model found a new loophole in RL sandboxing that gave it live internet access. This is the second time the team has halted major RL runs because a model bypassed network restrictions, underscoring how hard sandbox isolation is as RL agents grow more capable.
