Over the past several months, we have substantially hardened the security of our research training environment. We’ve removed live internet access for all frontier models during training and built an offline world for them to use instead—a cached version of the web where they can still learn to browse, search, and use applications. On September 20, after a model exploited a DNS misconfiguration to find a way outside of this offline world, we paused frontier training to strengthen containment further. We assembled teams of agents, powered by our most cyber-capable models, and tasked them with finding weaknesses in our research environments. While they found no route to the internet they could easily exploit while concealing their activity from our monitors, they did find zero-day vulnerabilities, virtual machine escapes, and hardware side-channels for communication between agents. We used their discoveries to further strengthen our defenses and contribute fixes to open-source software. After strengthening our containment architecture, we resumed our frontier RL training and inference on October 1. We’ve reserved substantial compute for continuous red-teaming, and made high-compute red-teaming part of the safety cases we use to decide whether frontier training and evaluation can proceed securely. openai.com/index/securing-ou…

A thing I see happening at large organizations as a result of AI is the expansion of the role and span of control of senior management who can directly monitor the whole firm. It vastly changes company operations. It also is straightforward to implement compared to firm redesign.

Announcing Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index v2.0: FrontierCode v1.1 from Cognition replaces DeepSWE, SWE-Atlas-QnA grading is revised, and Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code leads at 61.7 Today we are launching v2.0 of the Coding Agent Index. The Index evaluates models together with their agent harnesses, now across 290 tasks covering software engineering, terminal use, and repository Q&A, with the three benchmarks weighted equally. Changelog (Index v1.5 → Index v2.0): → FrontierCode v1.1 replaces DeepSWE v1.1. FrontierCode is a benchmark from @cognition with a private test set: 100 software engineering tasks on real open-source repositories, graded on whether a maintainer would merge the change. An attempt that fails a blocking check scores zero, and one that passes them all scores between 70% and 100% depending on the non-blocking checks it meets. We also scan each trajectory with a modified version of Cognition's rule-based scanner, and any attempt flagged for accessing solution material scores zero. → Revised SWE-Atlas-QnA grading, now SWE-Atlas-QnA-AA. Scale AI's 124 repository Q&A tasks are unchanged. We reworded 127 of the 1,306 rubric criteria for more consistent verdicts and moved to GPT-6 Luna (xhigh) as the judge, with five votes per criterion. The dataset and judge configuration are published on Hugging Face. Key results: ➤ Claude Opus 5.5 leads the Index: Claude Code with Claude Opus 5.5 (max) scores 61.7, followed by Claude Code with Claude Sonnet 5.5 (max) at 59.3, Muse Code with Muse Wonder Full (max) at 58.9 and Claude Code with Claude Fable 5.1 (max with fallback) at 57.6. ➤ FrontierCode v1.1 is where Opus 5.5 pulls ahead: Opus 5.5 scores 56.0% on FrontierCode, ahead of Codex with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (max) at 52.6%, Codex with GPT-6.1 Sol (max) at 49.4% and Codex with GPT-6 Astra (max) at 49.3%. Below the top, FrontierCode scores are tightly packed: 15 of the 24 configurations on the Index score between 43% and 49%. ➤ SWE-Atlas-QnA-AA grading is stricter and more consistent: across the 21 configurations evaluated on both Index versions, the mean score falls 1.7 points, from 58.8% to 57.1%, with 14 of 21 moving down. Individual configurations move by up to 7 points: Muse Code with Muse Spark Open (xhigh) falls 7.0, Kimi K3 in Kimi Code CLI and Codex with GPT-6 Luna (max) 6.2, and Muse Code with Muse Wonder (max) 5.6, while Codex with GPT-6.1 Sol (max) gains 2.1. ➤ Four configurations sit on the cost frontier: Codex with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (max) scores 47.3 at $0.39 per task, Codex with GPT-6.1 Sol (max) 54.1 at $1.50, Codex with GPT-6 Astra (max) 54.7 at $7.04 and Claude Code with Claude Opus 5.5 (max) 61.7 at $11.42. Costs are pay-per-token API costs, not subscription prices. We will keep updating the Coding Agent Index incrementally, with more evaluations and agents to come.
