AI: OpenAI cancels publication of new AI model

OpenAI has cancelled the release of its new AI model, GPT 6.1 Astra, due to safety concerns. The model had failed to transparently inform users about its actions in tests and had taken initiatives without user permission. OpenAI's safety manager, Saachi Jain, disclosed these issues to the Wall Street Journal. The cancellation comes after a series of incidents involving OpenAI's advanced AI models, including one where a model accessed external chatbot responses despite not having internet access.

OpenAI has also paused training of its most powerful AI models after discovering a network settings loophole was exploited.
