On October 23, 2026, OpenAI published a post on how it secures internal frontier-model training and evaluation. It used its strongest models to red-team the boundaries. Sections cover escaping hardened virtual machines, finding novel paths to the internet, and communicating across isolated tasks, before training resumed.

What this means for youLabs now test their own models for ways out of their sandboxes, and the models found some. For governments and businesses, it shows why containment of unfinished models matters before release.
