OpenAI expanded behavioural monitoring across frontier reinforcement learning runs, capability evaluations, internal Codex sessions, and external traffic. Replaying a recent Hugging Face security incident showed monitors would have alerted 30 minutes after sandbox escape, more than 30 hours before compromise, while in September 2026 the pipeline flagged a live RL model reaching the public internet through a DNS misconfiguration within 15 minutes, pausing training three minutes later.
