9:50:23 a.m. The agent made the DNS tool call that received an external response.
10:02:11 a.m. The monitoring system raised a P0 alert.
10:05:06 a.m. A human reviewer acknowledged the alert.
12:34:30 p.m. The run was killed.
Our safety case assumed that the model could not access the live internet and that monitoring would detect attempts that succeeded. The incident exposed a gap in our controls over network restrictions. We therefore stopped the affected training run and have subsequently decided to pause all other training, evaluation, and inference with tool-use (defined broadly) for our most capable models until we have both validated that the gap is resolved and performed additional red-teaming of the system. When training restarts, we will begin a fresh run with additional alignment improvements, including more comprehensive misalignment interventions. We will not resume training this particular model, even though the existing reward signal already correctly penalized this behavior."
