ChatGPT just turned 3 years old. 0 to 800M weekly users in that time. Fastest in history. Wild how much the way we work, search, and learn has changed in such a little time. https://x.com/rowancheung/status/1995524388918038985

We trained a variant of GPT-5 Thinking to produce two outputs: (1) the main answer you see. (2) a confession focused only on honesty about compliance. The main answer is judged across many dimensions–like correctness, helpfulness, safety, style. The confession is judged and https://x.com/OpenAI/status/1996281175770599447

At this point, papers testing whether AI can or cannot do something should try to test the strongest case, as well as a default. It is fine to say Llama 2 failed, but did a serious attempt to use GPT-5.1 Thinking in an agentic harness work? It would help better map the frontier.”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1994913383871586563

How confessions can keep language models honest | OpenAI https://openai.com/index/how-confessions-can-keep-language-models-honest/

In a new proof-of-concept study, we’ve trained a GPT-5 Thinking variant to admit whether the model followed instructions. This “confessions” method surfaces hidden failures–guessing, shortcuts, rule-breaking–even when the final answer looks correct. https://x.com/OpenAI/status/1996281172377436557

In our tests, we found that the confessions method significantly improves the visibility of model misbehavior.
