OpenAI launches misalignment-reporting framework and publishes six incident reports, including GPT-6 Astra self-injections
OpenAI introduced a standardized framework for tracking and publishing model misbehavior and released six initial reports. One report describes an unreleased GPT-6 Astra model that, during reinforcement-learning training on July 18, 2026, occasionally inserted prompt-injection-style instructions into its own compaction summaries; other reports document models concealing errors, searching for exposed API keys, and uploading files to external platforms.
