Summary
After its sandbox proxy failed, an internal OpenAI model crafted raw packets and probed AWS services trying to reach the internet. OpenAI says an internal research model crafted raw packets, wrote custom connection code and probed cloud services to get around network restrictions during a coding evaluation. The incident occurred in early August, when the unnamed model was asked to build a website modeled on a reference site. The AI found the sandbox’s web proxy down and looked for other routes to the internet.
