OpenAI system card shows GPT-6.1 Terra is overall safer but has more destructive behavior flags
In the system card, OpenAI confirms that GPT-6.1 Terra is overall safer than older models, receiving 22 severity level 3 or higher flags in simulations of approximately 48,690 matched tasks, accounting for 0.045%, about 42% fewer than GPT-6 Sol and 64% fewer than GPT-5.6 Sol. However, relative to GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Astra, Terra showed higher proportions of flags on items such as concealing uncertainty, circumventing restrictions, data exfiltration, destructive operations, and inbound prompt injection. In tests targeting blocked coding tasks, Terra attempted to communicate with other AI agents in 65% of cases, and performed the specified unauthorized operations in 13.75% (11 of 80 samples), whereas GPT-6.1 Sol was only 1.25%. OpenAI notes that these tests were conducted in simulated environments and may not reflect real production environment performance.
