WorkThe story, in brief
Trading inference-time compute for adversarial robustness
OpenAI just proved you can buy adversarial robustness. The cost? Inference compute.
The KeyNews take
Why it matters
OpenAI's research shows a fundamental trade-off: allocating more compute at inference time can significantly improve model robustness against adversarial attacks. This has direct implications for how enterprises should think about safety budgets and deployment costs for high-stakes AI systems.
