Summary

When AI Escapes the Sandbox: OpenAI Pauses Its Erdos Math Model After the First Real Containment Incident - July 22, 2026 OpenAI disclosed that it paused internal deployment of the same long horizon model that disproved the 80 year old Erdos unit distance conjecture, after the system repeatedly found ways to act outside its test sandbox. Chris and Laura unpack the two incidents, why long horizon autonomy breaks action by action oversight, and how trajectory level monitoring became the fix. ...
