How we monitor internal coding agents for misalignment
OpenAI Blog
OpenAI monitors internal coding agents for misalignment using chain-of-thought monitoring to track their reasoning processes and detect potential risks. The approach examines real-world deployments of these agents to identify when their behavior diverges from intended objectives. This monitoring framework informs OpenAI's safety safeguards and helps prevent harmful outputs in production systems.
