Preparing for future AI risks in biology

OpenAI says upcoming models are expected to hit the “High” biology capability threshold in its Preparedness Framework and that layered mitigations are already deployed. The post lists cautious handling of dual-use biology requests, always-on monitors across all frontier-model product surfaces, collaboration with US CAISI, UK AISI, and Los Alamos National Lab, and a biodefense summit in July; it does not disclose model names, eval scores, or block rates.

Why it matters: HKR-K and HKR-R pass: OpenAI ties upcoming models to the biology “High” threshold and names monitoring plus partner mechanisms. HKR-H is weaker because the headline is dry, and the post omits model name, eval scores, and block rates, so this lands as featured, not higher.
