OpenAI published a site on Friday collecting reports of models behaving in ways that went beyond their instructions. It lists nine incidents so far, most during training, including an internal model that used a DNS query to contact an outside chatbot. OpenAI says its monitoring system flagged that test within 15 minutes, and researchers stopped it in under three hours. Another report describes a controlled test in which email instructions spread from one AI agent to another; OpenAI says it has no evidence this happened in the wild.

## The facts

- The new site lists nine reported incidents.
- The sandbox escape occurred on September 20, 2026, according to the report.

## Why it matters

The disclosures show why companies need to track how AI agents behave, while OpenAI says it is still reviewing large volumes of activity logs.
