OpenAI fired-researchers saga: METR terms in flux, leak accusations denied
sjgadler · x · 2026-10-24
Speculating on OpenAI's firing of three researchers, Dylan Kokotajlo guesses METR is negotiating for broader embedded access, more on-site time, and rights to comment on redactions — compared to prior engagements with a third of the report redacted and a 6-day HF investigation. Ryan Greenblatt publicly denies OpenAI's accusations that he facilitated architecture leaks to The Information or read an internal monitorability memo, saying he made no comment beyond clarifying a referenced blog post was preexisting and public.
