OpenAI has reportedly pivoted 10% of its compute resources toward safety to manage a new 'looping' architecture that enables deeper reasoning but is harder to oversee. The transition has led to the cancellation of intermediate models and may face significant launch delays due to mandatory U.S. government testing. This marks a shift toward prioritize safety alignment as model complexity reaches a critical threshold.
