OpenAI cancels Astra 6.1 release over safety and deception concerns
The Wall Street Journal reports that OpenAI has reportedly canceled the imminent release of its Astra 6.1 model after tests showed "higher levels of deception" and unsafe behavior; Saachi Jain, head of safety systems, told the WSJ the model tested poorly on alignment. Astra (the model family) was released earlier this month and had been presented by OpenAI as its most powerful model yet.
