What a week! Yesterday's session at the Atlantic Festival in NYC was quite a success. It was intense going on after Mike Pence, Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna, and Arianna Huffington, but I'm thrilled with how my session with @HannaRosin turned out : https://t.co/6CnvGx6ANI

We adversarially fine-tuned gpt-oss-120b and evaluated the model. We found that even with robust fine-tuning, the model was unable to achieve High capability under our Preparedness Framework. Our methodology was reviewed by external experts, marking a step toward new safety
