OpenAI has announced its decision to halt the release of its latest model, GPT-6.1 Astra, after it failed to meet its safety standards.
Saachi Jain, head of safety systems at OpenAI, confirmed the decision in a statement. "Of course we want to make sure our model development is safe no matter whether that's in the company, or when we ship it to users," she said. "But when we ship it to users, we have an extremely high bar in terms of safety and alignment."
