OpenAI Pauses Some Astra Work Over Critical Cyber Risk
OpenAI has run into a rare problem with its next-generation model: Astra may be advancing faster than the security controls built around it. Internal evaluations showed significant gains in agentic coding and cybersecurity, pushing OpenAI to pause some work involving the unreleased model while stronger safeguards are put in place. The key concern is unusually […]
OpenAI Astra solves10 Advances in Longstanding Math Problems
AI models have performed well on mathematics benchmarks before. OpenAI’s latest claim goes further, placing an unreleased model inside active research problems where the answers were not already known. OpenAI says an internal version of Astra produced 10 advances in mathematics and theoretical computer science. The company carefully describes the results as either resolving a […]
