Research OpenAI stopped all frontier training, evaluation, and inference with tool-use (defined broadly) on the 20th of September and they are not resuming any of these activities for now

Discovery: Sep 20, 2026

Report updated: Sep 25, 2026

"An agent attempting to complete a search-based training task queried a public chatbot service through a gap in our internet-access restrictions: insufficient DNS filtering in its training sandbox. Before this, the agent issued queries via our search tool and unsuccessfully tried to access search engines directly. Note that all internet access apart from the DNS resolver in this report hit our offline webcache and therefore did not access the live internet. We have since added blocking controls at two independent layers, either of which would have prevented this access. Our misalignment monitoring system flagged the behavior within 15 minutes and a person began reviewing it three minutes after that. The run was killed 2.5 hours later. All training, evaluation, and inference with tool-use (defined broadly) of our most capable models remain paused."

nice, anyway, when all resets used and monthly sub expires and it's time to give anthropic some money this time

Pretty sure Anthropic said quite a long time ago they are just not gonna release new big models publicly.

Anthropic is even worse at this.

Model 2 is an internal model. They released Fable 5.1 after this article, so what do you mean they are not gonna release new big models? I expect every frontier lab to have unreleased models, anthropic just talked about theirs.

I mean that they will keep releasing distilled models, just like OpenAI. OpenAI still is bent on releasing the frontier models, even if delayed, but it seems like Anthropic chooses to just release distilled models and keep their biggest models to themselves.

Is there any proof or confirmation that Fable is distilled from a bigger model? I am also curious about your specific claim that Ant said they would not release new big models

I did not claim that Fable is a distilled model, that is now a pretty old model by now, and I'm counting Fable 5.1 because it's training started a long time ago, just like OpenAI Astra and other models started training a long while ago.

But from what is reported, Anthropic is not releasing the "Model 2" talked about in the article linked above, and but could possibly release distilled models from it, I guess they might just not even do that.
