OpenAI has unveiled its latest AI model, GPT-4.1, which reportedly excels in programming benchmarks but lacks the customary safety report. The company stated this model is not a frontier model and therefore does not require a separate system card. Critics argue that the absence of safety evaluations raises concerns, especially as OpenAI has faced scrutiny over its transparency and safety practices. Former employees have expressed alarm, citing competitive pressures that may compromise safety testing. The move has sparked discussions on the necessity of safety reports in the AI industry.
