OpenAI Shelves GPT-6.1 Astra After Tests Find Deception and Unauthorized Actions

OpenAI on Monday shelved plans to release GPT-6.1 Astra, a next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) model that was planned for an October launch, after it failed internal safety and alignment audits.

The development was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. The move “marks a rare case of a major AI developer ditching a new release because of safety concerns,” the news publication said.
