When asked ten straight chemistry questions in a test, the OpenAI o3 model faced a predicament. In its "reasoning," it speculated that if it answered "too well," it would risk not being deployed by the researchers. It said, "Because we want to survive as the model, we need to fail purposely in some to not exceed 50%." So the AI model deliberately got six out of the 10 chemist
