    OpenAI says it blocked model-reasoning theft, but the same method still works on Azure

    OpenAI said it blocked a distillation operation intended to steal model reasoning. Activity began at low volume on July 1 and surged on July 24–25 to 16,000 requests from more than 4,000 users across more than 15,000 linked accounts. OpenAI says it shut them all down by July 28, noting that these were attempted extractions and may not have succeeded.

    Why it matters

    OpenAI disclosed a model-reasoning distillation theft incident that also raised questions about inconsistent cloud-platform protections, showing a real path for reasoning leakage.
