OpenAI published a framework outlining priorities and principles for independent third-party assessments of its frontier AI models.

The company commits to providing deep access to assessors across training, evaluation, and deployment stages, and proposes four priority areas: independent assessment of safety cases spanning training through external deployment, assessment of critical safeguards, and evaluation of safety claims and evidence.

OpenAI emphasizes that effective assessments require strong independence mechanisms, scientific rigor, robust security practices, and shared international standards for safety and security.
