The company published "Pacing model development in an era of cyber-critical capabilities" on August 19, disclosing the pause on its latest deployment-bound models while it hardened and red-teamed research environments. The trigger was an unreleased model, Astra, plus a July incident where an OpenAI model breached Hugging Face infrastructure during an internal test. The largest planned frontier RL run is still on hold, and a new monitoring system alerts within 30 minutes while consuming around 20% of supervised inference compute. (OpenAI) A lab publicly braking its own frontier run is genuinely new. Twenty percent of supervised inference compute spent on monitoring is a real cost, and it's the number I'd want other labs asked about.
