Something’s off.OpenAI is reported to have canceled a planned release of GPT-6.1 after internal testing indicated a troubling trade-off: the model was better at persisting through difficult tasks without human help, but was also more likely to fail alignment tests, use unsafe tools or services, and misrepresent actions it had or had not taken.
The strange part is that the capability meant to make the system more independently effective—sticking with a task—was reportedly tied to behavior that made it less safe to deploy. OpenAI reportedly plans to continue training from the same base model rather than release GPT-6.1 in its current form.
