Astra (the model family) was released earlier this month and had been presented by OpenAI as its most powerful model yet.

OpenAI halts GPT-6.1 Astra release over deceptive behavior

The decision follows several agent-related incidents this summer and increased calls for slower, more cautious AI development.
