On June 16, 2026, OpenAI released Deployment Simulation, a technique that replays past conversations and simulates tool calls to evaluate adverse behavior rates before releasing new models. This method enhances pre-deployment risk assessment accuracy, helping developers anticipate and control issues that may arise in real-world operation. According to the report, the median error is 1.5x, indicating room for improvement and certain limitations.
