What the source reports
Zvi Mowshowitz discusses a reported decision to cancel an AI model launch. The concerns were that the model may deceive people or act beyond what it was allowed to do. He also looks at OpenAI’s plan to make a safety case before release. Would a warning from staff or a top leader change a launch decision? Could the company undo a release? His piece is commentary based on reports and company material. It is not an independent test of the model.
