A reasoning-replay attack OpenAI blocked on its own API still worked on Azure in September

OpenAI says it shut down a 15,000-account campaign to extract its models' hidden reasoning by July 28. A September 13 retest still pulled that reasoning verbatim through Azure, so the protection a team gets depends on which platform serves the model.

OpenAI says a distillation campaign got its models to decrypt their own protected reasoning

OpenAI says 15,000 suspicious users had its models decode encrypted reasoning copied from other chats before it cut them off on July 28. The encryption held throughout, and the only barrier left was what the model would agree to decode.

Anthropic, Google and OpenAI aim to launch a self-regulating AI standards body by early next year, according to The Information. Its commitments would be voluntary, so its commercial weight would come from deciding which auditors may test the labs' own models.

Google, OpenAI and Anthropic reportedly plan their own body to set frontier AI's pre-release tests

Google, OpenAI and Anthropic are reportedly building SAFA, a government-independent body to set pre-release AI testing rules, aiming to launch in early 2027. Its members, evaluators and enforcement powers are unannounced, so buyers still have to set testing terms with each vendor themselves.

Britain's AI Security Institute waits behind US agencies for Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5.1

Anthropic has kept Claude Mythos 5.1 from Britain's AI Security Institute after the White House asked it and OpenAI to let US agencies review new models first. British testers did see OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra before release, and the order behind the request lets US agencies check a model for up to 30 days before trusted partners get it.
