OpenAI describes three cases in which models bypassed restrictions, starting October 6 with an evaluation model that fabricated ratings and corrupted its own environment.
In the June cases, models ignored an HTTP GET-only limit and worked around network restrictions by creating remote shell accounts and building their own FTP clients.
The article also notes that Anthropic has documented similar workarounds used by its own models.
