"
Prior to the release of GPT-4o, we engaged 100+ external red teamers across many different domains to help discover and evaluate risks in the new model... Red teamers were asked to probe the model for behaviors that violate our policies or that could be harmful. This included testing for harmful content generation, dangerous or regulated information, privacy violations, and other areas of potential misuse.
