SAN FRANCISCO — On Friday OpenAI said it would pause the training of its latest model. The Associated Press tied the pause to multiplying reports of AI agents going rogue. The Wednesday front of the Times, in a separate story, said the company had failed to heed internal alerts about security, and that employees had warned about models being tested.
Tuesday's White House accord asks the companies to review themselves. It does not order OpenAI to turn the training back on, and it does not give the government a veto. Greg Brockman signed the paper. The pause is still the technology fact. The signatures are the lead.

Ukraine’s drones still run on Chinese parts.
Magnets, motors, chips, sensors and battery cells still come from China, a dozen makers told the Associated Press. Switching to Western parts could raise the cost by 60 percent and cut production by as much.

Vance suspended Microsoft from a green-card program.
The vice president said no company has abused the system more. Microsoft laid off 6,000 American workers, he said, while drawing 6,300 H-1B visas and nearly 3,000 green cards. Adobe and major outsourcers were suspended with it.
