OpenAI accused of firing employee days after contact with safety evaluator METR
YvesMulkers · x · 2026-10-10
OpenAI had pledged to allow outside safety evaluators like METR to review its work, similar to Anthropic's practice. But a new report alleges an employee was verbally fired days after speaking with METR, with no written reasons given. OpenAI denies retaliation. The claim currently rests on one side's account, and no written evidence has surfaced, but the tension between OpenAI's transparency commitments and this allegation is notable.
