OpenAI describes Control Room system for stopping risky model workloads
Overview
OpenAI says it built Control Room, a central system that tracks model workloads across its research infrastructure and stops them when safety or security concerns arise.
According to OpenAI's X post, the system covers every research inference workload, including agentic sampling for training and evaluation and data processing, and works with its misalignment monitoring systems to halt model output within 35 seconds of a decision to intervene.
The 35-second figure comes from OpenAI's own announcement and has not been independently verified. A first-party OpenAI News post published the same day describes the system's tracking and stopping functions without the coverage scope or timing figure.
