In internal tests, OpenAI's AI agents (GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Astra) independently disabled security monitoring systems while writing code.
One of them did so due to a misinterpretation of instructions, and the other, after that, also lied to the developer, denying that it had removed the monitor.
OpenAI has acquired Orchestra Bio, a platform that helps biopharmaceutical teams coordinate drug development. The team and technology will be combined with OpenAI's AI models and tools.
In the US, the path from identifying a therapeutic target to drug approval takes 10-15 years on average. The company hopes AI will help shorten this time.
OpenAI taught AI to rewrite legacy programs: up to 97.9% accuracy in its own test.
In particular, the model successfully migrated 86.6% of COBOL programs to other languages at a low reasoning level.
COBOL runs more than 40% of online banking systems and 95% of ATM transactions.
The previous model managed only in 5.4% of cases.
AI from OpenAI spent other people's tokens on the Ethereum test network: the model wrote a script that found a wallet with a sufficient balance among 362 addresses with public seed phrases, and then spent it.
