SOURCE SUMMARY

Learn how OpenAI disrupted a campaign to extract protected model reasoning and is strengthening defenses against adversarial distillation.

WHY IT MATTERS

This update matters if it changes a concrete workflow, permission boundary, integration, or user capability. The impact should be judged by what becomes possible in practice rather than by the announcement language alone.

WHAT TO VERIFY

Check who can use the change, supported platforms and workflows, permissions, rollout status, limits, pricing implications, and any documented technical constraints.
