Reuters / Bloomberg (via r/singularity)·high signal
Bloomberg reported on 2026-09-11 that in a company-wide meeting Altman told employees OpenAI could pace its AI development, possibly in concert with several other labs, while acknowledging some may not agree. OpenAI said it has already slowed parts of model development and paused certain internal training runs on safety grounds. Reuters picked the story up the same day; r/singularity ran it at 154 upvotes against 176 comments, with most of the thread reading it as positioning rather than policy.
