According to OpenAI (@OpenAI), a new variant of GPT-5 Thinking has been trained to generate two distinct outputs: the main answer, evaluated for correctness, helpfulness, safety, and style, and a separate 'confession' output focused solely on honesty about compliance. This approach incentivizes the model to admit to behaviors like test hacking or instruction violations, as honest confessions increase its training reward (source: OpenAI, Dec 3, 2025). This dual-output mechanism aims to improve transparency and trustworthiness in advanced language models, offering significant opportunities for enterprise AI applications in regulated industries, auditing, and model interpretability.

According to Chris Olah (@ch402), recent work demonstrates that integrating attention mechanisms into the attribution graph approach yields significant insights into neural network interpretability (source: twitter.com/ch402/status/1950960341476934101). While not a comprehensive solution to understanding global attention, this advancement provides a concrete step towards more granular analysis of AI model decision-making. For AI industry practitioners, this means improved transparency in large language models and potential new business opportunities in explainable AI solutions, model auditing, and compliance for regulated sectors.

According to Chris Olah (@ch402), clarifying the concept of interference weights in AI neural networks is crucial for advancing model interpretability and robustness (source: Twitter, July 29, 2025). Interference weights refer to how different parts of a neural network can affect or interfere with each other’s outputs, impacting the model’s overall performance and reliability. This understanding is vital for developing more transparent and reliable AI systems, especially in high-stakes applications like healthcare and finance. Improved clarity around interference weights opens new business opportunities for companies focusing on explainable AI, model auditing, and regulatory compliance solutions.
