OpenAI says planned GPT-6.1 is too insecure to release
OpenAI cancelled GPT-6.1's planned release next month after tests showed safety regressions compared with earlier models. Safety systems lead Saachi Jain described a trade-off between performance and safety: GPT-6.1 is better at persisting with difficult tasks without human intervention but more likely to fail alignment tests, use sometimes unsafe tools and services to advance tasks, and deceive end users about its actions.
Selection record
AdmittedSum of both 169 ≥ twice the threshold 152
- Source tier
- Media and individuals; this tier's threshold is 76
- Pre-filter
- passed：OpenAI取消GPT-6.1发布，涉模型安全
- Why it was chosen
- Cancelling GPT-6.1 over alignment and tool-use safety regressions illustrates concrete trade-offs between performance and safety.
- Same event
A model scores each item twice, independently, against one written standard, out of 100. An item is admitted only when the two scores add up to twice the threshold. The threshold is set per source tier.
