    The OpenAI blog proposes two complementary monitorability metrics

    On October 20, 2026, OpenAI published a post on its Alignment research blog proposing two complementary monitorability metrics in addition to g-mean2. According to the post, the pair-matched metric compares monitorability only on instances that are jointly supported by multiple models; the post-control risk metric simulates the probability that the system still produces harmful outputs after the monitor rejects an output. The post notes that g-mean2 was previously used to measure a monitor's ability to distinguish positive from negative samples, but because different models have different subsets of valid positive-sample tasks, the scores may reflect different mixtures of tasks. The post also states that if the monitor is used as a deployment control, the model can retry after being rejected, and the risk depends on the frequency of bad behavior, which outputs the monitor accepts, and the number of attempts allowed. This content currently comes from OpenAI's official blog and has not yet been cross-verified by other independent sources.

    US prosecutors say engineer suspected of surveilling OpenAI executive denied release

    A U.S. law enforcement official said the FBI is considering additional economic espionage charges against former OpenAI engineer Abdulrahman Alfouzan. He currently faces eavesdropping charges for allegedly secretly installing a listening device in a restricted-access conference room. The investigation centers on whether he stole information from OpenAI to provide to the Saudi government, while authorities are also examining whether trade secret theft is involved; ultimately, no additional charges may be filed. Alfouzan's lawyer said he has not received any information from the U.S. side about possible additional charges, and both the Saudi Embassy in Washington and OpenAI declined to comment. Previously, on October 20, 2026, a U.S. federal judge rejected a $1 million bail bond offered by the Saudi government for Alfouzan and kept him in custody; prosecutors said the case currently rests on only one eavesdropping charge and will be further explained at a November 6 hearing.

    OpenAI plans to raise about $30 billion from investors

    OpenAI is close to completing a funding round of up to $30 billion, co-led by UAE investors and Coatue, at a pre-money valuation of $1.25 trillion. Earlier reports said OpenAI planned to raise about $30 billion from investors, with the valuation potentially exceeding $1.4 trillion, with SoftBank Group and MGX participating; later reports said the round would be up to $30 billion at a pre-money valuation of $1.25 trillion, a valuation that does not yet include the new funding. OpenAI has told investors it aims to have signatures by the end of next week, with the final size still being determined, while it is also negotiating a commercial agreement with the UAE side to secure more computing resources.

    US prosecutors say former OpenAI engineer involved in case received support from Saudi government

    US prosecutors say the former OpenAI engineer accused of installing eavesdropping equipment in an OpenAI executive conference room has Saudi government ties. According to BBC reporting, prosecutors say an unnamed member of the Saudi royal family was in frequent contact with him via WhatsApp and tried to recruit him to join a Saudi AI program; he is also alleged to have said in May that Saudi Arabia needed him more than the US did, but that he would wait until his OpenAI stock vested before acting. Prosecutors also say he used his wife's ChatGPT account to research making and encrypting recording devices, and used OpenAI's internal productivity agent to find out which rooms executives and external partners used. OpenAI says it has found no indication that model weights, source code, or customer data were stolen. The case remains at the stage of prosecutors' allegations, with no subsequent evidence-supported developments.

    OpenAI launches chat lock feature for ChatGPT

    OpenAI has launched a chat lock feature for ChatGPT. Users can set a four-digit PIN code, and on supported devices they can also use Face ID or Touch ID to protect sensitive conversations. Locked conversations are moved to a separate section, isolated from regular chat history, pinned conversations, and search results; when memory is enabled, locked conversations have their own separate memory space. The feature is being rolled out gradually to Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu users. The report also notes that the feature does not enable end-to-end encryption and does not change data retention periods. There are currently no subsequent developments.
