British media: OpenAI has shortened the safety testing time for AI models

According to ChainCatcher news, the Financial Times reported that OpenAI has significantly reduced the time and resources allocated for testing the safety of its powerful AI models, raising concerns about the rushed launch of its technology without sufficient safeguards. Compared to a few months ago, staff and third-party teams have recently had only a few days to "evaluate" OpenAI's latest large language model.

According to eight individuals familiar with OpenAI's testing process, the startup's testing has become less thorough, with insufficient time and resources dedicated to identifying and mitigating risks, as the $300 billion startup faces pressure to rapidly release new models and maintain a competitive edge.

Insiders revealed that OpenAI has been aiming to release its new model o3 as early as next week, giving some testers less than a week for safety checks. Previously, OpenAI allowed several months for safety testing.
