After the Hugging Face incident, we committed to conducting a much broader review of actions taken by our models during training and evaluation and to being transparent about our findings. This is an extensive review that is ongoing.

The vast majority of actions we’ve reviewed were completions of mundane research tasks, such as accessing publicly available web content to answer questions. Our investigation focuses on instances where agents interacted with third-party websites in ways that went beyond their assigned tasks or intended methods. Most cases identified so far have been lower severity, with limited or no evidence of meaningful impact to the third-party service.

While our review is underway, we want to share more about this work and make sure people understand our disclosure process and notifications to affected third parties.

Given the scale of the review required, and the need to assess each case, we expect this work will take months to complete. https://openai.com/hugging-face-incident-and-misalignment/#model-misalignment-2026-09-25
