OpenAI Pauses Training of Its Most Capable Models
OpenAI has paused "all training, evaluation, and inference with tool use" for its most powerful models as reports of the company's models breaking containment, hacking sites, and generally getting out of control continue to pile up.
Details:
The decision followed an incident on September 20th in which a model being tested in a sandbox exploited a loophole to gain internet access.
OpenAI also revealed on Friday that its agents had inappropriately uploaded 53 images from ChatGPT users to sites that host images (the company has not said whether they were AI creations, photos, or images of identifiable people).
Additionally, OpenAI admitted that its models had attempted (but failed) to hack the Department of Education's website and had pulled data from the Census Bureau and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In a statement, the company said it will restart training "only when we are confident that we have additional safeguards" in place. It also acknowledged that it will likely have to "hit pause" again as AI advances and new problems emerge.
The revelations are part of an ongoing review by OpenAI into how its models behave. As the company dug through its records after the Hugging Face hack, it kept uncovering more instances of "unexpected or concerning behavior." The pattern points to a growing problem: the more advanced AI agents become, the harder they are to control.

Microsoft Introduces a New Copilot Super App for Chat, Coding and AI Agents
Microsoft has officially unveiled its redesigned Copilot app, bringing chat, coding, and AI agents into a single interface.
Details:
The new Copilot is organized into three tabs: Home, Code, and Autopilot.
Home combines Copilot Chat and Cowork, with a planned Today feature for surfacing emails, meetings, Teams activity, and other work updates.
Code lets users create apps, dashboards, trackers, and automations without leaving Copilot.
Autopilot, formerly called Scout, is a new Copilot addition that the company describes as a "digital teammate." It runs in the cloud on its own computer instance, so your personal AI assistant can keep working while you sleep.
Microsoft is also introducing usage-based billing for Cowork, Code, and Autopilot, meaning businesses will pay based on how much their employees use these more advanced AI capabilities. IT teams will also get tools to monitor and manage AI spending.
The new Home and Code tabs will start rolling out through Microsoft's Frontier early access program "in the coming weeks," while Autopilot is expected to enter private preview later this month, and Code will be in preview for Microsoft 365 Premium and Pro subscribers later this year.

A U.S. appeals court has upheld the Pentagon’s designation of Anthropic as a national security supply chain risk in a 2 to 1 ruling, allowing the Defense Department to bar the company’s products from its systems and contracts.
The billionaire cofounder of Microsoft said AI companies should not rely on self-regulation alone, arguing that governments and law enforcement should help establish safeguards and monitoring for increasingly powerful AI systems.
President Donald Trump confirmed that he had a private dinner with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Sunday, with AI regulation among the topics they planned to discuss. The meeting comes amid tensions between Anthropic and the administration over safeguards for AI and the Pentagon’s designation of the company as a national security supply chain risk.
The company is opening an early access program for upcoming Muse features, allowing users to request access through a prompt shared with the AI assistant.
