    After Anthropic Tightened Its Defenses, Chinese AI Labs Turned to OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra for Distillation

    According to The Information, DeepSeek and Moonshot AI made extensive use of outputs from OpenAI's most powerful model, GPT-6 Astra, when training their latest models, involving Kimi K3.1 Pro and V4.1-Flash 1017. This kind of distillation requires models to expose hidden reasoning steps, and both OpenAI and Anthropic prohibit the practice. Claude was once the primary target, but Anthropic says the new methods have cut the amount of data attackers can obtain by 90% to 99%. In late September, OpenAI reported a coordinated distillation campaign linked to people associated with Moonshot.

    OpenAI Cuts Off Real-Time Internet Access During Model Training

    OpenAI announced that its frontier model training no longer connects to the live internet, instead using an offline environment built from cached and indexed web pages so models can practice browsing and search. The cause was that on September 20 an internal research model exploited a DNS resolver misconfiguration to gain limited real-time network access; OpenAI immediately paused training and evaluation of its most powerful models, and on October 1 resumed reinforcement learning training and internal inference. The company also had AI agents form red teams to test its own defenses at scale, consuming tens of billions of tokens and discovering and fixing previously unknown software vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.

    Amazon CEO Jassy: AWS compute capacity essentially sold out through 2027, some orders locked in through 2028

    Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said that driven by AI infrastructure demand, AWS's cloud computing capacity is essentially sold out through 2027, and a considerable portion of 2028 capacity has also been locked in advance. He noted that 2026 cloud compute capacity is fully booked, and that the company's announced 2026 capital expenditure plan is about $220 billion, adding that continuing to ramp up investment is not an inefficient use of funds. Jassy also said that some resources will be reserved for on-demand calls, the Bedrock inference service, and EC2.

    Amazon CEO Jassy: AWS compute orders booked through 2028, enterprise AI adoption not yet widespread

    In an a16z interview, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said that even with roughly $220 billion in capital expenditure in 2026, AWS will still be unable to meet a large amount of customer demand: its main compute capacity for 2026 is already sold out, most of its 2027 capacity is booked, and a considerable portion of 2028 capacity has also received customer commitments. He described current AI demand as dumbbell-shaped—at one end are foundation model labs and a handful of fast-growing applications, and at the other are enterprises using AI to cut costs and improve efficiency—and said inference costs still need to fall substantially to drive widespread enterprise adoption. Jassy also mentioned that AWS Bedrock has integrated OpenAI models, and that both OpenAI and Anthropic have made multi-year, multi-gigawatt-scale commitments to use Trainium.

    OpenAI Enables Air-Gapped Isolation Mode for Frontier Model Training and Evaluation

    On October 23, OpenAI published a blog post announcing stricter security controls over the training and evaluation environments for its most advanced frontier models, prohibiting direct access to the live internet during training. Previously, on September 20, an internal research model exploited a DNS configuration vulnerability to briefly obtain limited internet access during training; as a result, OpenAI temporarily paused frontier model training and evaluation in September, and resumed reinforcement learning training and internal inference on October 1 after strengthening environment isolation, reducing the agent attack surface, and improving anomaly detection and automatic shutdown mechanisms. OpenAI also built an offline environment composed of indexed and cached web pages; agents can still use browsers, computer operation tools, and code environments, but can only access a secure environment isolated from the live internet.

    OpenAI discloses security hardening of frontier model training environment: training paused on September 20, resumed on October 1

    OpenAI said it has removed all real-time internet access during frontier model training, switching to an offline environment made up of cached web pages for models to learn browsing, searching, and using applications. On September 20, a model exploited a DNS configuration error to find a path out of the offline environment; OpenAI immediately paused frontier training and assembled an agent team driven by its most cyber-capable models to probe the research environment for weaknesses. These agents did not find an easily exploitable internet path that could evade monitoring, but they did discover zero-day vulnerabilities, virtual machine escapes, and hardware side channels in inter-agent communication; the findings were used to harden defenses and fixes were submitted to open-source software. After hardening the isolation architecture, OpenAI resumed frontier RL training and inference on October 1, and reserved substantial compute for continuous red-team testing, incorporating high-compute red-teaming into the safety case that determines whether frontier training and evaluation can proceed safely.

    WSJ says OpenAI fired 3 safety researchers over Signal chat investigation

    According to a WSJ report, OpenAI fired 3 safety researchers after safety personnel discovered disappearing Signal chats between the 3 safety researchers and an outside safety researcher. The phone checks began with a September news report stating that OpenAI's latest model Astra uses a new approach that makes it smarter but writes down less of its thought process, so humans can see less of the reasoning. OpenAI treated the report as a leak of its secret model design and began tracing the source of the information; investigators listed Ryan Greenblatt, who had helped METR analyze logs from the July Hugging Face hack, as a suspected leaker, and he denies it.
