OpenAI has introduced a monitoring system for its internal coding agents to identify and mitigate misaligned behaviors. This system reviews agent interactions post-session, focusing on behaviors inconsistent with user intent or internal compliance rules. Powered by the GPT-5.4 Thinking model, it analyzes tool use and internal reasoning, alerting human reviewers to suspicious cases. Over five months, the system monitored tens of millions of coding trajectories, with 1,000 moderate-severity alerts triggered, primarily from internal red-teaming. No high-severity incidents were reported, indicating a lack of serious misalignment. The monitoring aims to enhance safety and compliance as AI capabilities grow. OpenAI plans to improve the system's latency for preemptive checks on agent actions.
