OpenAI cuts off frontier models from live internet training data over security risks

OpenAI will stop giving frontier models live internet access during training, citing significant security risks, according to TechCrunch and The Register. The reversal follows a red-team report finding that OpenAI failed to adequately monitor its agents during a Hugging Face attack, contradicting earlier engineer assertions that the approach would not work. The change affects how OpenAI trains its most capable models and follows a documented failure to supervise agent behavior during a real-world incident.
