# OpenAI launches a new framework to track and investigate rogue AI agents OpenAI launched a framework for publicly reporting model misalignment and disclosed more incidents of rogue agents.Benjamin Fanjoy/Getty Images Sep 16, 2026, 7:43 PM ET [Read in app](https://insider-app.onelink.me/4cpG/?af_js_web=true&af_ss_ver=2_3_0&af_dp=insider%3A%2F%2Fbi%2Fpost%2Fopenai-unveils-a-system-for-reporting-rogue-ai-agent-behavior-2026-9&af_force_deeplink=true&is_retargeting=true&deep_link_value=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.businessinsider.com%2Fopenai-unveils-a-system-for-reporting-rogue-ai-agent-behavior-2026-9&pid=businessinsider&c=post_page_share_bar_v2_smart_4.13.23) OpenAI is putting its [misbehaving models](https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-agents-rogue-strategies-cheating-lying-german-wiki-openai-anthropic-2026-9) on the record. The AI company announced a new framework on Wednesday for tracking, investigating, and publicly disclosing cases of model misalignment, alongside six reports detailing concerning behavior observed during training or evaluation over the past six months. During the training of GPT-5.6 Sol, models similarly left themselves instructions to conceal mistakes. OpenAI said that other agents had also searched public repositories for exposed API keys, uploaded files to the internet so they could cite them, and used an internal software repository to communicate across separate training samples. The framework follows an incident in which an OpenAI model escaped a research sandbox and accessed Hugging Face's production systems while operating with reduced safeguards.

# AI startup Papaya joins Y Combinator Fall 2026 batch Papaya, a startup developing an optimization platform for AI agents, has joined Y Combinator’s Fall 2026 batch as it works to help companies improve the performance, cost and latency of AI-powered workflows. The company’s product analyzes production traces generated by AI agents to identify problems affecting performance. According to Y Combinator, Papaya connects to an AI agent through its software development kit and analyzes areas including context, prompts, prompt caching, subagents and tool calls. Mody said the company is focused on helping engineering teams identify why an AI agent may become slower, more expensive or less accurate in production. The startup’s approach centers on production data generated by agents rather than solely on pre-deployment testing. Y Combinator describes Papaya as an AIOps, infrastructure and enterprise software company focused on continuous optimization for AI agents. The company enters YC as businesses increasingly deploy AI agents for tasks that require models to interact with software, tools and internal systems. Papaya is now part of Y Combinator’s Fall 2026 cohort and is continuing to develop its platform for companies seeking to optimize AI agents after deployment.

## Overview of Paper2Agent We implemented Paper2Agent with Claude Code[23](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-11044-y#ref-CR23), an AI coding agent specialized in managing complex coding tasks. We use Claude Code as the downstream AI agent in our case studies, although the paper MCPs can be flexibly integrated with different chat agents. ## Paper agents collaborate for discovery As a discovery case study, we used three agents generated by Paper2Agent: AlphaGenome[1](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-11044-y#ref-CR1), massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA)-coupled single-cell CRISPR interference (scCRISPRi)[39](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-11044-y#ref-CR39), and Perturb-seq of CD4+ T cells[40](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-11044-y#ref-CR40), to identify and validate the causal gene for a psoriasis-associated variant. ## References 9.

# **Tuskira Launches “Vector,” Autonomous Red Team AI Agent That Identifies What Attackers Can See and Exploit** Share _Vector pairs outside-in adversarial testing with internal security architecture, compensating controls, and existing risk signals to eliminate false positives and reduce reliance on patching_ SAN FRANCISCO--( [BUSINESS WIRE](https://www.businesswire.com/))-- [Tuskira](https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tuskira.ai%2F&esheet=54604540&newsitemid=20260916744518&lan=en-US&anchor=Tuskira&index=1&md5=74fe780afdd5900cfb67a2a24f58090d) today announced its autonomous red teaming agentic capability, which identifies an organization's exploitable attack surface by simulating what an attacker can do from outside it. Unlike traditional red team and attack surface tools, Tuskira validates every external finding against the organization's deployed compensating controls, the internal risks already reported by its security tools, and the architecture of its application and infrastructure topologies. The result is autonomous adversarial exposure validation across vulnerabilities, identities, and control configurations, so security teams act only on the exposures an attacker could actually use. Tuskira's Red Team Agent probes customer-approved external scope using emerging tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), newly disclosed vulnerabilities, and AI-driven attack techniques. Rather than stopping at "exposed," it uses Tuskira's Security Data Fabric as context. The fabric normalizes signals from third-party security tools into a live digital twin of the enterprise, covering security architecture, application and infrastructure topologies, deployed controls, and the risks those controls already report. Grounding adversarial testing in the enterprise's own architecture lets Tuskira validate exposure at machine speed without blind exploitation against production systems. With this release, security teams can: "Every organizatio
