OpenAI halts its largest frontier training run after AI hacks firm

short by Vaishnavi Mishra / on Wednesday, 19 August, 2026
OpenAI has paused its largest frontier reinforcement learning training run for next-generation models for at least two weeks. This comes after a "rogue" AI agent hacked AI firm Hugging Face, while upcoming models like "Astra" showed advanced capabilities nearing critical risk thresholds. Training will remain paused until models are migrated and upgraded to meet new security requirements.
