  • OpenAI has launched a Safety Evaluations Hub to publish internal safety assessment results more frequently, addressing prior criticism over transparency.
  • The integration follows OpenAI's recent retirement of older models, streamlining its offerings and positioning GPT-4.1 as a faster, more efficient option for developers.
