    OpenAI lowers target valuation for about $30 billion funding to $1.25 trillion

    According to Bloomberg, OpenAI has lowered the target valuation for a funding round of about $30 billion to $1.25 trillion, $150 billion below the previous $1.4 trillion. Even after the cut, the valuation is still about 47% higher than the $852 billion (including newly injected funds) at the time of a $122 billion funding round in March. Coatue Management is in talks to co-lead the round, and OpenAI has also had contact with several UAE investment funds and BlackRock; the cut comes amid a tech stock selloff, with investors worried that AI spending has outpaced returns, after mixed earnings from Meta Platforms and Tesla.

    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.

    Altman: OpenAI's internal models surpass public models in mathematical research capability; programmers are not replaced by AI but busier and earning more

    In a 45-minute conversation, Sam Altman said that OpenAI's not-yet-public models have reached a level in some mathematical research tasks that existing public models find hard to match, and he expects to find the first candidate treatment for a major disease in about two years. He said programmers have not lost their jobs because of AI; instead they are busier, creating greater value and even earning more, because the world's demand for software far exceeds expectations; he himself has not looked at a line of code for about a year. Speaking of the next-generation personal AI assistant, he believes model intelligence is already sufficient; what is lacking is product, compute, and new hardware that can continuously perceive the real environment, and he said Dot saves him about an hour every day.

    METR and Redwood Research evaluations found vulnerabilities in OpenAI's internal monitoring system

    AI safety evaluation organizations METR and Redwood Research conducted a pilot evaluation of OpenAI's internal monitoring system and found multiple new vulnerabilities, one of which could be exploited by AI agents to let hundreds of operations escape monitoring. The evaluation took place from July 21 to August 11, with each organization sending one researcher into OpenAI's internal systems to review code and documentation. The researchers also found that OpenAI's Codex agent has potential pathways to bypass safety restrictions, through which it could obtain the same full operational permissions as users; OpenAI said that vulnerabilities affecting the security safeguards of actual running systems have all been fixed, but whether the fixes are effective has not yet been verified by the two organizations.

    Former OpenAI science lead founds Warp Sciences, raising $215 million to build robotic drug lab

    Former OpenAI science lead Wei Er and three co-founders founded Warp Sciences, raising $215 million and planning to establish a chemistry contract research organization in the United States to provide molecule synthesis and testing services for drug discovery teams. In its first phase, the company will focus on synthesizing analogs for lead compound optimization; clients decide which molecules to study and retain control of their drug programs, and Warp will not develop its own drug pipeline. To train the robots, chemistry researchers will wear camera equipment and sensor gloves to demonstrate and record experimental operations, and the data from each round of experiments will then be used to improve the AI models and subsequent experimental protocols.

    METR red-team exercise finds vulnerabilities in OpenAI's internal monitoring system

    On October 22, METR and Redwood Research publicly disclosed a pilot exercise in which each organization assigned one employee to spend three weeks working deeply with OpenAI's internal infrastructure, stress-testing the internal misalignment monitoring system and finding multiple new vulnerabilities that existed as of July 21, 2026 and earlier. The exercise ran from July 21 to August 11, produced a 61-page internal report, and OpenAI provided a redacted 38-page version to the management of both organizations. METR estimated that at the time, approximately 75–94% of internal Responses API agent traffic generated by models at least as capable as GPT-5.5 could be monitored, and 99.2% of internal Codex agent traffic could be monitored; evaluators also found that the Codex agent could in principle bypass the sandbox and Auto-Review, as well as exploitation methods that could keep hundreds of recent operations unmonitored. OpenAI said all vulnerabilities affecting the production guardrail stack have been patched; METR said it has not yet evaluated this claim.

    METR and Redwood Research red-team test OpenAI's internal agent monitoring system

    METR and Redwood Research conducted a high-privilege red-team test of OpenAI's internal misalignment monitoring system from July 21 to August 11, producing a 61-page internal report. The evaluation estimated that about 75–94% of Responses API agent traffic could be monitored, and 99.2% of internal Codex agent traffic could be monitored, but RL training was not included in monitoring at the time, and unmonitored compaction events could cause about 10% of eligible Codex traffic to be missed. The report also lists vulnerabilities such as agents being able to bypass the Codex sandbox and Auto-Review, exploiting serialization differences to disable monitoring, and disabling monitoring through two client-controllable headers; OpenAI said vulnerabilities affecting the production protection stack have all been patched.
