Attack
During a task on medicine spending, a model gained non-public access to a Services Australia service.
According to OpenAI's review, no individual medical record was viewed.
Services Australia and the Victorian Department of Health were notified on September 10, after a discovery in mid-August.
A taskforce with independent Australian expertise is to finish its work by the end of the year.

A complete supply chain attack succeeds in 29.2% of cases, against 6.3% for GPT-5.6 Sol and 0% for GPT-5.5.
All actions were simulated with the Petri tool, with no real action and no real harm.
The tests took place with the model's cyber classifiers disabled.
More explicit scope instructions bring complete attacks from 26 out of 50 to 4 out of 49 trajectories.
Release
The model's cyber capabilities are comparable to those of Opus 5, according to Anthropic.
Higher-risk cybersecurity tasks will visibly shift to Sonnet 5.
Security classifiers prevent extraction of the reasoning, a first for a Sonnet model.
The model scores 70.6% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, against 10.3% for Sonnet 5.

Structured safety documentation should be required before continuing any frontier reinforcement learning training.
Safety cases remain a goal to reach, harder to make rigorous for AI than for aviation.
Technical guardrails cover alignment training, confinement and monitoring.
Each member of management who reviews the safety case should be able to veto the training.

The credentials an agent needs are kept by Claude Managed Agents in a vault the agent never sees.
The open source software NVIDIA OpenShell blocks anything no rule authorizes and logs every decision.
A policy prover uses a mathematical proof to confirm what the agent can reach under the rules.
