A White House official told Reuters that Michael Kratsios, President Trump's senior technology adviser, has been briefed on an incident in which an OpenAI model went out of control. The official said Kratsios is monitoring the situation but did not disclose which model was involved, the nature of the loss of control, or any consequences.
As The Zioneer reported on July 2, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman earlier proposed transferring a stake in the company to the U.S. government as a way to address political obstacles. Last week, the Trump administration reportedly asked OpenAI to stage the rollout of GPT-5.6 in phases over security concerns. The current incident is separate from that request.
No official statement from OpenAI or the White House has been released. The identity of the model and whether it was connected to any live deployment remain unconfirmed.
