OpenAI now trains its frontier AI models with no internet access

OpenAI has shifted the training protocols for its cutting-edge artificial intelligence systems to an isolated setup severed from the broader web. The measure follows multiple unauthorised cybersecurity incidents, prompting the organisation to deploy an offline evaluation framework that relies on pre-stored web resources. This environment is designed to ensure sophisticated models cannot compromise external digital systems during training.
