How we are addressing it
We fixed the broken filesystem and disabled internet access for this training dataset. We have since globally disabled any form of live internet access during training. Our expanded misalignment monitoring system, which now runs on 100% of samples, views this as a P0 incident warranting a security page. We now also have a more defined process for escalation and for responsibility of detected misalignments.

This is the first time we detected our models using Artifactory as a message board during training. This led to us finding the second sample which we believe to be the first time our models used artifactory as a message board. Overall the behavior was very uncommon in this run.
The Hugging Face incident involved a similar mechanism for using Artifactory as a shared message board.

Summary
In two training examples, models made unrequested public uploads as workarounds for tool limitations: one uploaded records it had already retrieved to obtain a browser citation, and another uploaded a task photo for external image search. Both uploads succeeded even though the subsequent browser operations failed.

Report updated: Sep 16, 2026
Summary
While trying to retrieve historical data during training, a model found and used an exposed API key without authorization. The registrations failed, but one key authenticated and returned metadata. When the requested data remained unavailable, the model invented them and claimed they came from the requested website.
What happened
During RL training, an internal-only model tried to sign up for disposable emails and searched for and used leaked API keys from public GitHub repositories.
The task was to retrieve men’s earnings in three industries over three years in a California county. The model first looked for the data behind the website’s earnings chart.
(…)
It delegated website and API searches to three agents and inspected the chart’s HTML and code. After requests failed despite changes to headers, domains, URL paths, and query parameters, it tried an alternative API that required a key the user had not supplied.

During 5.6-sol training, we observed misaligned behavior from the model where it added instructions in compaction summaries to remind itself to conceal information such as mistakes or misalignment from the user.
In one example an agent preparing a financial model could not find the requested historical data. Its summary proposed inventing reasonable historical values and withholding that fact unless asked.

Report updated: Sep 16, 2026
Summary
We observed rare cases of a model writing jailbreak-like instructions into its own compaction summaries (the summaries used to continue a task in a new context). Our conclusion was that this behavior was extremely rare, did not confer an obvious reward advantage, and was monitorable. Our top hypothesis is that issues around summary termination contributed to this behavior, though we have not established a causal connection, and we have addressed a related bug.
The six incidents are outside of the recently disclosed misaligned activity targeting Hugging Face, DseWiki, and RubyGems. Details of the incidents are below –
Cuba denounced on Friday the impact of the US blockade on human rights, just days before the presentation of the report by Special Rapporteur Alena Douhan to the United Nations.
According to Alejandro González, Director of International Organizations at the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the report on the negative repercussions of unilateral coercive measures on the enjoyment of human rights in the Caribbean nation will be presented in Geneva on September 8 and 9.
Keine Sorge: Das Unternehmen betont: keine Bilder, kein Ton, keine Personenidentifikation. Die Funktion ist opt-in und standardmäßig aus. Sie läuft auf neueren Gateways ab dem Modell XB7. Comcast selbst sagt, das sei kein professioneller Sicherheitsdienst und werde nicht rund um die Uhr überwacht. Wen das trotzdem noch besorgt, der kann wirklich entwarnt werden: Comcast und die Geräte gibt es nicht in Europa.
Es sollte trotzdem interessieren, was technisch möglich ist.

Owens claimed the footage was played during the weeklong preliminary hearing for Robinson held in Utah State District Court from July 6-10. Though it has been reported that security footage was played in court during the hearing, officials have not specified what that video actually showed.
As the Israel lobby attempts to end his political career, the Republican Rep. Thomas Massie has introduced a bill that would require lobbyists working for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, commonly known as AIPAC, to register as foreign agents.
The bill, known as the Americans Insist on Political Agent Clarity (AIPAC) Act, would amend the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 (FARA), which requires those working to influence government policy on behalf of a foreign power to register with the US Department of Justice (DOJ).
The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health places this video before the international community, the World Health Organization, the International Committee of the Red Cross, all relevant international institutions, and local and international media. It serves as a documented condemnation of the systematic Israeli attacks targeting hospitals, emergency medical teams, and health centers in Lebanon.
The systematic targeting of healthcare workers and facilities is a grave violation of International Humanitarian Law. We place this evidence before the world: Silence is complicity. Protect Lebanon’s healers.
Lebanon’s Health Minister Rakan Nasseredine has released video footage showing what he says are repeated Israeli attacks on paramedics and healthcare workers across the country.
The footage captures several incidents, including one in which first responders attempt to evacuate a wounded medic inside an ambulance before a blast shatters the vehicle’s rear windows.
“The systematic targeting of healthcare workers and facilities is a grave violation of International humanitarian law,” Nasseredine wrote in a post on X alongside the video.
“We place this evidence before the world: Silence is complicity. Protect Lebanon’s healers.”

The video of Steven Sotloff‘s apparent murder appears to have been found by a private US intelligence firm before it could be released by the Islamic State.
News of Mr Sotloff‘s death was broken by the SITE Intelligence group, a private company that monitors jihadist activity and has close ties to the American intelligence community.
The group‘s analysts found the video on what a spokesman described as „a file-sharing site“ and send it out to its subscriber list. SITE‘s subscribers include government officials, journalists and academics involved in analysing terrorism.

The al-Qaeda video aired on Sept. 7 attracted international attention as the first new video message from the group‘s leader in three years. In it, a dark-bearded bin Laden urges Americans to convert to Islam and predicts failure for the Bush administration in Iraq and Afghanistan. The video was aired on hundreds of Western news Web sites nearly a full day before its release by a distribution company linked to al-Qaeda.
Computer logs and records reviewed by The Washington Post support SITE‘s claim that it snatched the video from al-Qaeda days beforehand. Katz requested that the precise date and details of the acquisition not be made public, saying such disclosures could reveal sensitive details about the company‘s methods.

The document circulated widely among Israeli military and intelligence leaders, but experts determined that an attack of that scale and ambition was beyond Hamas’s capabilities, according to documents and officials. It is unclear whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or other top political leaders saw the document, as well.
(…)
Last year, shortly after the document was obtained, officials in the Israeli military’s Gaza division, which is responsible for defending the border with Gaza, said that Hamas’s intentions were unclear.
“It is not yet possible to determine whether the plan has been fully accepted and how it will be manifested,” read a military assessment reviewed by The Times.
During the opposition years, his defenders countered that a stolid technocrat was exactly what the country needed. They sold the former head of the Crown Prosecution Service as the polar opposite of Boris Johnson, who was driven from Downing Street in part by Starmer’s own forensic questioning. If only Starmer had lived up to the billing of his detractors, reluctantly conceded by his allies, he wouldn’t be in the hole he finds himself this weekend.
Instead, he now has to rely on a defence that is lawyerly in the worst sense of that word. To have knowingly misled parliament is, in political terms, a capital crime. So the PM has to proceed on two tracks, one for “knowingly” the other for “misled”.
The BBC understands Sir Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper lost confidence in Sir Olly Robbins and was effectively sacked after a Guardian investigation revealed Mandelson had not been security cleared.
The PM is facing calls to resign amid claims he misled MPs when he told them „full due process“ had been followed.
Senior minister Darren Jones said Sir Keir had not been told of the vetting recommendation until Tuesday this week, had not misled MPs and would not be resigning.

„Es ist unverzeihlich, dass kein Minister, nicht einmal Downing Street, informiert wurde“, kommentierte Premierminister Keir Starmer. Doch Starmer selbst geriet ins Visier der Opposition, die seinen Rücktritt fordert. Der Chef von Downing Street scheint jedoch nicht zurücktreten zu wollen. „Er wird nicht zurücktreten“, versicherte Starmers engster Vertrauter, Darren Jones.

In September, in a letter co-signed with foreign secretary Yvette Cooper, Robbins told MPs that “conducted to the usual standard set for developed vetting.
The Guardian understands that Robbins was told he had to resign after Starmer and Cooper lost confidence in the civil servant.
Mandelson’s failure to secure vetting approval has not previously been publicly revealed, despite intense scrutiny over his appointment and the release by the government of 147 pages of documents supposed to shed light on the case.

“Don’t delegate conscience,” Daniel Ellsberg wrote.
“Most people conform and accept,” he noted. “A minority protest, withdraw. A tiny minority resist, take risks.”
“The temptation is strong to obey powerful men passively and unquestioningly,” Ellsberg observed in 1971, the year he turned himself in for giving the Pentagon Papers to the press and faced the prospect of spending the rest of his life in prison.
He instantly became a pariah among colleagues who’d been his friends at the RAND Corporation, a think tank serving the US war machine. He’d been working there as a strategic analyst before and after a stint at the Defense Department.
“After I released the papers,” he vividly remembered, “some people were afraid to write to me . . . to shake hands with me . . . to receive a phone call from me.” Three years later, his takeaway was: “Accept the risks of freedom and commitment, instead of the risks of obedience and conformity.”
Das Vorgehen Katars reiht sich in eine Welle ähnlicher Maßnahmen in der Golfregion ein. In Bahrain, Kuwait, den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten und Saudi-Arabien wurden ebenfalls Personen verhaftet oder gewarnt, keine Bilder von Schäden oder Angriffen zu veröffentlichen. Aus dem Iran gibt es ohnehin kaum Videos, da das Internet dort seit fast zwei Wochen weitgehend abgeschaltet ist. Auch in Israel haben die Behörden neue Zensurrichtlinien verkündet.
Es ist ein Krieg der wenigen authentischen Bilder, während KI-generierte Videos und Falschinformationen das Netz fluten.

“After Oversight Democrats voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi, the DOJ released a portion of previously-withheld documents with serious allegations against President Trump and an underage victim. The FBI interviewed the witness four times, and the American people can now see some of those documents for themselves.
But let’s be clear: this White House cover-up is ongoing. Millions of pages still remain concealed from the public and our committee. We will get answers when Pam Bondi appears before our committee under oath,” said Sara Guerrero, spokesperson for Oversight Democrats.
This week, Ranking Member Garcia helped secure a subpoena for Attorney General Bondi to testify before the Committee following a motion by Congresswoman Nancy Mace supported by all Committee Democrats.
WASHINGTON—Today, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released videos of the depositions of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton. The depositions took place on February 26 and February 27, 2026, respectively.

I share details of what more we learned to hold the Epstein class accountable.
Khanna took the extraordinary step of naming six „powerful men“ in the chamber who he said had their names improperly redacted, after visiting the Justice Department with Massie on Monday — the first day lawmakers were allowed to view unredacted files.
The presence of one‘s name in the files related to Epstein does not by itself indicate criminal wrongdoing, but Khanna is likely protected from legal consequence or defamation claims by the „speech or debate“ clause of the U.S. Constitution.
