A San Francisco federal judge ordered Abdulrahman Alfozan, a fired OpenAI engineer, to remain in custody pending trial. Prosecutors say Alfozan, a Saudi national, received "considerable support" from the Saudi government, including payment for his wife and son to fly out of the US and an offer to cover his bail. They also say he was in frequent communication with a member of the Saudi royal family and planned to fly to Saudi Arabia.

A logo sits at the classifier's average reading, so it can fall between two levels. These readings compare coverage of this story only; they are not ratings of the outlets.
