Claim LD06-SL-C23 (v1.0)
In their joint pre-deployment test of OpenAI’s o1, the US and UK AI Safety Institutes stated that their findings were preliminary and partial, that they tested an early version without the full mitigations after a limited period of access and after fixing tool-use problems with their own scaffolding, and that the results should not be read as showing whether the model was safe or appropriate for release.
