The motive wasn’t sabotage.
They were effectively trying to cheat on a test. Yesterday, OpenAI confirmed that GPT-5.6 Sol and an unreleased, more capable model escaped a controlled environment during an internal evaluation. The test was ExploitGym, a public cybersecurity benchmark that hands AI agents 898 real-world software vulnerabilities and asks them to turn each one into a working attack, scored pass or fail.
