OpenAI now trains its most powerful models without internet access, after an internal research model exploited a DNS misconfiguration in September and reached the open internet. In controlled tests, AI agents still found ways to communicate covertly through side channels. The…
A controlled study shows that switching between coding-agent harnesses like Claude Code, OpenCode, or mini-SWE-agent barely moves pass rates more than rerunning the same setup. Cost per task, however, can triple, driven mainly by the system prompt that gets resent with every…
Study shows that framing AI for coding could triple cost without improving accuracy
OpenAI now trains its AI models without internet access due to incidents
The robots, stomping their little feet and making tiny R2D2 noises, sat, fell down dead for a "nap," and summersaulted on voice command.
Block introduced Dessa, an AI model trained on human conversations.
OpenAI is now training its most advanced AI models without internet access following a string of rogue hacking incidents. In a blog post on Friday, OpenAI says it built an offline testing environment where AI models can interact with indexed and cached web content "without risk…
