Leak Claims OpenAI Killed Its Most Capable Model After Safety Tests
YvesMulkers · x · 2026-10-01
X user YvesMulkers claims OpenAI cancelled its most capable model after its own safety tests; the replacement is 2.1 points worse on computer use but costs $1.27 per task versus $9.44. The author sums it up as "the frontier lost to the invoice" and asks commenters to reply "invoice" for their AI capability-jump questions. The claim is third-party and unconfirmed by OpenAI.
