AI brief
External auditors from METR and Redwood Research spent three weeks on-site at OpenAI examining its internal monitoring system for AI agents and found significant gaps, with up to 25 percent of agent traffic coming from models at the GPT-5.5 class and above.
Why it matters: The audit indicates that a substantial share of agent activity at OpenAI involves advanced models that the external reviewers found were not fully covered by internal monitoring.
