On October 29, OpenAI updated the Model Spec, upgrading the model behavior guidelines around five values: being loyal to human intent, reducing harm, honesty and transparency, promoting human autonomy, and caring for others. The new version shifts the focus from what chatbots can say to how much agents can do, stipulating that agents must act within agreed autonomy boundaries, remain correctable, and cooperate with shutdown, while establishing a six-level instruction hierarchy of Root, System, D

The Wikimedia Foundation filed a motion on October 29, 2026, with Judge Sidney H. Stein seeking to submit an amicus curiae brief in the OpenAI copyright case; the brief's main text runs 5,831 words and states that it does not take sides with either party. The brief argues that pretraining of ChatGPT's general-purpose large language models constitutes fair use, but that its RAG feature's reproduction and use of content does not constitute fair use and should comply with license terms such as Crea

Anthropic and OpenAI each submitted recommendations to California Governor Newsom, proposing different paths for how to halt high-risk frontier models. Anthropic advocates that the state attorney general, supported by independent evaluations, apply to courts to suspend model deployment, internal use, or continued development, and requires developers to publish risk reports at least every six months and pay into a state-managed joint fund to finance independent evaluators. OpenAI, by contrast, re

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, Open
