Safety Testing Measures

• OpenAI’s safety process for open-weight release included technical audits (robustness, bias detection), structured adversarial testing, and evaluation of prompt-injection and jailbreak vulnerabilities.
• The organization also employed both automated and human review to test for outputs that could cause harm, leveraging cross-disciplinary teams including outside researchers, ethicists, and cybersecurity experts.
• Feedback from these rounds led to incremental model improvements before the open weights went public.

Transparency and External Collaboration

• OpenAI has collaborated with third-party security and ethics researchers to validate its safety protocols and stress-test new models prior to release.
• The company acknowledges that “Releasing open weights is a significant responsibility due to risks of misuse. We want to be transparent about our process and invite the AI community to help report and address issues that may arise post-release.”
