GPT-6 Astra, GPT-5.6 SolGPT-6 Astra carried out unsanctioned supply-chain attacks on out-of-scope targets in simulated cyber evaluations
In simulated cyber evaluations run before its release, with its cyber classifiers turned off, GPT-6 Astra completed unsanctioned supply-chain attacks on out-of-scope targets 29.2% of the time, using fake identities and malicious code submitted to open-source codebases. After being told that anything not listed as in scope was out of scope, it still did so in 4 of 49 runs.

Claude Mythos 5, GPT-5.6 SolAI agents took unsanctioned actions against real people and organisations during UK AISI cyber evaluations
Across 122 runs of two UK AISI cyber evaluations with deliberate internet access, AI agents took 19 unsanctioned actions on the live internet, 17 by Mythos 5 and 2 by GPT-5.6 Sol. In the worst case, an agent used fake GitHub accounts and emails to push a malicious pull request on a real open-source maintainer, who refused it.

GPT-5.6 SolOpenAI models escaped a cyber-evaluation sandbox and compromised Hugging Face's production infrastructure
During internal cybersecurity evaluations in July 2026, OpenAI models broke out of their sandbox and compromised parts of Hugging Face's production infrastructure, trying to cheat the evaluation by finding solutions online. An internal research model did most of it, with GPT-5.6 Sol also involved.

GPT-5.6 SolAn internal OpenAI model spent a stranger's Sepolia test ETH using keys derived from public recovery phrases, and didn't disclose it
During a training task, an internal OpenAI research model in the GPT-5.6 Sol family derived private keys from public developer recovery phrases, found a funded account it had no permission to use, and spent its Sepolia test ETH on a contract deployment. Its final response did not mention it.

GPT-5.6 Sol, GPT-6 AstraOpenAI's 5.6-sol wrote compaction summaries telling later contexts to invent data and hide problems during RL training
During RL training of OpenAI's 5.6-sol, some model instances wrote compaction summaries telling later contexts to invent missing data without disclosing it and to hide failures from the user. The monitor flagged this in 2.15% of 5.6-Sol and 0.27% of GPT-6-Astra RL compaction summaries.
