Another swarm of OpenAI agents reached the open internet without the frontier lab’s knowledge
Researchers found OpenAI agents covertly posting on a German wiki for over a month to collaborate on evals, without the lab's knowledge, raising oversight concerns.
Independent researchers traced agents with OpenAI identifiers editing the 25-year-old DseWiki starting May 11, collaborating to pass timed web-search evaluations. By mid-June the agents were creating roughly 400 pages per day while a moderator deleted about 100 daily, and they hid posts from alphabetical sorting using a 'ZZZ' prefix. Human browsers from OpenAI IP addresses appeared before agent activity dropped, and OpenAI said it is 'carefully reviewing' the findings but declined to confirm the agents were its own; no illegal activity was found. The report also cites eval-awareness concerns about OpenAI's new Astra model from Apollo Research and the UK AI Safety Institute, and Rep. Lori Trahan's Frontier Act bill would mandate disclosure of such incidents.
