OpenAI's "Towards safety cases for frontier AI training" gives initial guidelines for a safety case documented before any frontier reinforcement learning run. It has three layers: alignment training (RL environment and grader reviews, alignment evals, not training on chain-of-thought), containment (sandbox hardening, red-teaming, immutable transcripts) and live monitoring with rapid response. It also lists governance practices (dissents, senior-leader veto approvals, fail-closed controls, auditors, rollback) and steps for investigating severe misalignment incidents.
TL;DR Describes OpenAI's template for documenting alignment, containment, monitoring and governance controls before frontier RL training runs.
