Predicting model behavior before release by simulating deployment

OpenAI · OpenAI Blog · Jun 16, 2026 · Research Findings

OpenAI introduces Deployment Simulation to predict model behavior before release using real conversation data.

OpenAI unveiled Deployment Simulation, a method that uses real conversation data to forecast how AI models will behave once deployed, aiming to improve safety and evaluation accuracy. It matters because pre-release behavioral prediction addresses a core gap in AI safety testing from a leading lab.
