OpenAI has published a framework for tracking, investigating and disclosing cases of model misalignment, alongside six reports describing unexpected or concerning model behavior.

The framework is intended to provide a structured approach for documenting incidents in which artificial intelligence systems behave in ways that differ from their intended objectives or safety expectations.

OpenAI said the accompanying reports will help inform further investigation and transparency around model behavior. The framework and reports were published on the OpenAI blog on Sept. 16, 2026.
