This model is much more powerful than gpt-oss-20b, notice how the contest was not even for the 120b model. Also, bio was not a subject.

The model is more powerful, so the bounty is 1/20th the size? More risk, less reward?
"Biorisk" seems to be a concept not only invented by OpenAI but exclusively taken seriously by them. I wonder if this program is less about finding actual risks than it is hopefully casting a wide net for someone to help them prove their model is relevant in this space.

This is false. Antropic just bundles it into CBRN. As for inventing it, the idea of AI-created bioweapons as a concrete risk far predates OpenAI as a company.
Not really. Anthropic has the "CBRN filter" on Opus series. It used to kill inquiries on anything that's remotely related to biotech. Seems to have gotten less aggressive lately?
I was reverse engineering a medical device back in 2025 and it was hard killing half my sessions.
