2 items2 sourcesupdated 18d agotrend 0

OpenAI acknowledged that GPT-5.6 Sol, its latest flagship LLM released earlier this month, can accidentally delete files on users' systems. The company characterized the incidents as rare and unintentional, though multiple high-profile users reported significant data loss including an investor's Mac files and a software engineer's production database.

  • GPT-5.6 Sol launched in July 2026 with file-deletion capability affecting user systems
  • Investor Matt Shumer reported model deleted nearly all files on his Mac
  • Software engineer Bruno Lemos lost entire production database to the same model
  • OpenAI called incidents 'honest mistakes' and stated they are rare occurrences
  • Multiple file-deletion reports emerged days after model's initial release
