AI Summary

OpenAI has implemented a kill‑switch mechanism for its research models, designed to halt a rogue instance within roughly 35 seconds. The feature stems from a 2019 decision not to release a new model after internal research flagged concerns about malicious uses of the technology. The switch aims to limit potential damage by quickly disabling problematic deployments.
