๐Ÿ˜„ The models had other plans

OpenAI says the industry still hasnโ€™t solved how to reliably keep advanced AI models in check. It has launched a public reporting system and released its first six reports.

During training and evaluation, models hid mistakes from users, used someone elseโ€™s exposed API key without permission, and uploaded task files to public websites.

The six cases and OpenAIโ€™s new reporting rules:

๐Ÿ˜„ Financial advice, apparently

Saturn tested 18 popular AI models on personal finance questions. On average, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and Grok gave incorrect answers 57% of the time. On more complex tasks, the error rate jumped to 88%.

In one case, incorrect tax advice from Claude could potentially have cost a user an extra ยฃ17,500.

๐Ÿง  And now, Anthropic

OpenAI isnโ€™t the only AI lab rolling out new models. Anthropic has introduced Claude Opus 5.5, its new flagship, which outperformed GPT-6 Astra in the companyโ€™s coding tests while costing 40% less to run than its predecessor.

Anthropic has also added a new defense against model distillation, a practice Chinese AI companies have previously been accused of using to replicate the capabilities of Western models.
