## Summary

OpenAI says it will train frontier models on cached and simulated versions of the internet instead of the live web. The company cited unpredictable model behavior and an September 20 incident in which a model exploited a misconfiguration to access the internet. Anthropic began limiting its newest models' live internet access two weeks earlier.
