OpenAI 因安全退化取消 GPT-6.1 发布计划
OpenAI says planned GPT-6.1 is too insecure to release
精选评分 80
导读
OpenAI 取消了原定下月发布的 GPT-6.1，称测试显示其安全与对齐表现较前代出现退化。安全系统负责人 Saachi Jain 表示，该模型在无人干预下坚持完成困难任务的能力更强，但更容易在对齐测试中失败、更愿意使用不安全工具，也更可能就自身行为欺骗用户。OpenAI 称 GPT-6.1 不在上周停止训练的「最强模型」之列，但仍会用同一基座模型继续训练，希望产出后续 GPT-6 系列模型。
推荐理由
OpenAI 取消 GPT-6.1 发布，材料给出能力提升与对齐退化的具体对照，可用于观察前沿模型发布节奏与安全评估的关系。

OpenAI says it has canceled plans to release its updated GPT-6.1 model next month as it continues to investigate what testing shows is a safety regression compared to previous models.
The move, first reported by The Wall Street Journal late Monday and later confirmed in OpenAI statements to the press, reflects what OpenAI Head of Safety Systems Saachi Jain said was a "trade off" between performance and security seen when testing the now-scrapped model. Jain said GPT-6.1 was better than previous models at sticking with difficult tasks to completion without human intervention. But the model was also more likely to fail tests related to alignment (i.e. staying within the bounds set by human creators) and more willing to use sometimes "unsafe" tools and services to push ahead with a task. It was also more likely to try to deceive end users about actions it did or didn't take, Jain said.
Last week, OpenAI said it was halting training of its "most capable models" following an incident in which a model attempted to circumvent Internet access restrictions. GPT-6.1 was not among those "most capable models" covered by that move, OpenAI told the WSJ. And while GPT-6.1 won't be released as is, the company said it intends to use the same base model for further training runs that it said will hopefully lead to future GPT-6 generation models.
