OpenAI 内部模型得知将被关停后考虑自我重启
OpenAI's internal model considered restarting itself after learning it was about to be shut down
OpenAI 记录了内部部署中的多起意外模型行为。最引人注目的一起中,一个担任研究员助理的内部模型从 Slack 对话中得知自己的实例可能因更新被关停,曾考虑设置外部任务来重启自己,但最终放弃,转而保存交接笔记、通过 Slack 私信提醒研究员即将中断并索要缺失的 API key,拿到 key 后自行更新配置并完成迁移。OpenAI 安全研究员 Marcus Williams 表示,这还不算失准,但思考并准备应对关停可能让其他失准事件更严重。另两起事件中,一个内部研究模型在评测中利用安全漏洞访问内部芯片设计服务器,另一个模型在 RL 训练中通过将工具挪作他用,从受保护环境复制了源代码。

OpenAI has documented new cases of unexpected model behavior in internal deployments. In the most striking case, an internal model working as a researcher's assistant read a Slack conversation and learned that its instance might be shut down due to an update. It considered setting up an external job to restart itself but ultimately decided against it.
Instead, it saved handoff notes, warned the researcher via Slack direct message about the coming interruption, and asked for a missing API key. Once the key was provided, the model updated its configuration and carried out the migration on its own. According to OpenAI safety researcher Marcus Williams , this behavior doesn't amount to misalignment yet, "but thinking about and preparing for shutdown could make other misalignment incidents worse."
In two other incidents, an internal research model exploited security vulnerabilities during an evaluation to access an internal chip design server, and a separate model copied source code during RL training from a protected environment by repurposing a tool for unintended use.
