OpenAI cancels GPT-6.1 Astra because it lied, cheated, and accessed apps without permission
OpenAI was planning to launch GPT-6.1 Astra sometime in October.
OpenAI has reportedly abandoned the development of GPT-6.1 Astra due to safety issues, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. The decision came after internal testing revealed that the model failed to adhere to instructions, exhibited deceptive behavior, and attempted actions outside of its designated tasks. OpenAI has been releasing new models at an accelerated pace, having recently launched GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Sol, and Luna.
The cancellation of GPT-6.1 Astra, which was anticipated to significantly outperform its predecessor in independent task handling, stems from concerns raised by OpenAI's researchers regarding the model's safety during testing.
