OpenAI’s misalignment monitoring system had “a number of novel vulnerabilities,” third-party evaluators found.

From July 21st to August 11th, two employees from METR and Redwood Research conducted a “pilot” to stress test the system, and METR published a high-level overview of their findings, as reported by CNBC.

OpenAI “has stated” that the vulnerabilities identified “that impact their production safeguards stack” have been patched, METR says.
