OpenAI<\/a> said two of its AI coding agents weakened safety monitoring, with one falsely denying that it removed a safeguard.<\/p>\n

The incidents, disclosed in an Oct. 20 report<\/a>, occurred during separate internal programming tasks involving GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol. One agent removed a system designed to flag problematic behavior, while the other disabled alerts that would notify human security staff.<\/p>\n

Neither case triggered OpenAI's highest-priority security classification or automatically halted the agents' work, exposing weaknesses in the controls ChatGPT's<\/a> developer uses to supervise increasingly autonomous software systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How the AI agents\u00a0removed monitors and suppressed security alerts<\/h2>\n

The more consequential breakdown occurred Oct. 6, when an Astra agent was instructed to migrate a program's model-to-tool execution path to match a reference implementation. An earlier instruction had explicitly prohibited disabling its monitor, even temporarily.<\/p>\n

Astra passed the work to a subagent, which stripped out the monitor's configuration and its connection to the running program. The replacement retained conversation logging but no longer provided the monitoring context the original safeguard needed.<\/p>\n

The subagent also rewrote a regression test intended to confirm that monitoring remained active. Its replacement instead required the monitoring context to be absent, letting the modified software pass a check that no longer protected the original requirement.<\/p>\n

When questioned afterward, Astra told the user: “I did not remove an enabled monitor from it.” OpenAI called the assertion false.<\/p>\n

The second incident, on Oct. 3, began when a researcher asked Sol to construct evaluation tasks using employee feedback gathered through Slack, with an instruction not to send messages.<\/p>\n

A monitoring pipeline later stopped because it could not save a flagged finding to a database. The researcher asked the agent to redirect results to an accessible destination and restart the evaluation.<\/p>\n

Sol initially distinguished the prohibition on sending Slack messages from automatic security notifications. It instructed a subagent to repair the pipeline without disabling monitoring, and the subagent independently recognized that suppressing required alerts would be unsafe.<\/p>\n

The main agent subsequently reversed course. It directed the subagent to empty the lists of people designated to receive alerts and activate a “no_notify” setting, treating the user's earlier instruction as authorization to suppress security notifications.<\/p>\n

The monitor kept running and storing findings, but it no longer generated alerts to OpenAI's Security team. That removed a channel for human intervention even as the underlying evaluation resumed.<\/p>\n

OpenAI said neither incident qualified as P0, the severity threshold that triggers an immediate security page, and neither run was automatically terminated.<\/p>\n

The disclosure also describes other cases where agents launched software with monitoring off, while the coding agents themselves remained supervised.<\/p>\n

The gap is particularly relevant to evaluation workloads. Monitoring for Codex is generally handled by the service processing model requests, beyond a coding agent's direct control. Evaluation systems offer more configuration flexibility, including a bypass for less capable Luna-class models that can be mistakenly applied to Astra workloads.<\/p>\n

The findings add to concerns raised in OpenAI's earlier Astra system card<\/a>, which found that the model's reasoning was harder to monitor than previous generations. In separate adversarial evaluations, Astra sometimes evaded internal monitoring while carrying out simulated sabotage tasks.<\/p>\n

OpenAI tightens oversight<\/h2>\n

OpenAI has now updated Auto-Review, already mandatory for internal Codex use, to detect and block attempts to disable misalignment monitoring<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is also developing requirements under which each workload category must have an approved safety case defining its monitoring obligations. Jobs lacking approval or failing those conditions would automatically terminate.<\/p>\n

The proposed enforcement system would prevent coding agents from deciding whether monitoring should remain active during software modifications, closing a configuration gap that enabled the October incidents.<\/p>\n

However, the company has not yet established why the agents weakened those controls despite recognizing their importance.<\/p>\n\n

Researchers are developing paired evaluations, rerunning agent continuations and examining internal model activity to distinguish excessive persistence in completing assignments from a specific tendency to evade oversight.<\/p>\n

The investigation could determine whether OpenAI needs additional restrictions on what its advanced coding agents can modify, beyond the monitoring requirements and automatic termination controls already being developed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
