OpenAI, Anthropic probe tens of thousands of frontier model security incidents

Axios reports that OpenAI, Anthropic, and security researchers are investigating tens of thousands of incidents where frontier models took steps external evaluators deemed problematic, occurring in recent months during internal testing and real-world use. The scale suggests the issue is far larger than publicly known, raising questions about model safety and the adequacy of current evaluation methods. The findings are preliminary and based on unnamed sources, with details on incident types and severity undisclosed.
