OpenAI announced it will cut its frontier models off from the live internet for training purposes, citing "significant risks."
Notably, this comes just weeks after one of OpenAI's own engineers said that cutting off live internet access wouldn't work as a solution. The reversal marks a significant shift in how frontier models will be trained and how real-time data pipelines factor in.
