On October 23, The Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI has fired three security researchers. Internal security personnel discovered that they had engaged in disappearing message chats via Signal with external AI security researchers, raising suspicions that sensitive information related to OpenAI's internal model design was involved. This investigation reportedly began following a September article about OpenAI's latest model, Astra. The article mentioned that Astra employs a new design that enhances model capabilities while reducing the observable reasoning processes for humans. OpenAI viewed the related report as a potential leak of internal model design and initiated a probe into the source of the information. The report also highlighted that this controversy touches on the issue of AI model 'monitorability.' Some security researchers are concerned that if future models can perform tasks without leaving complete traces of their reasoning, it may become more challenging for researchers to determine the reasons behind an AI agent's decisions, as they would only be able to observe the outcomes of its actions. OpenAI investigators have also identified Ryan Greenblatt, who assisted METR in analyzing the logs of the July Hugging Face hacking incident, as one of the suspected leakers, a claim Greenblatt denies.

According to an announcement from Forma's official X account, the Forma mainnet will cease operations at block height 34,567,890, expected around November 5. Users will have approximately two weeks to withdraw on-chain funds. After the chain stops, the team will take a snapshot of the on-chain status and migrate the remaining TIA to Eden. Both chains are EVM chains, allowing users to use the same wallet address to withdraw funds from Eden once the migration is complete. Modularium will be migrated to Ethereum, along with the related NFTs; holders will need to claim them through the re-launched Modularium website, as NFTs will not be airdropped automatically. The official announcement states that the migration may take several days after the chain halts, and further announcements will be made upon completion of the migration, with more details and operational instructions to be released in the coming weeks.
