OpenAI Postpones Launch of Latest AI Model Due to Safety Concerns
OpenAI has delayed the launch of its newest model, GPT-6.1 Astra, originally scheduled for early October, citing safety concerns. Saachi Jain, who oversees safety at OpenAI, confirmed to CNBC that the model does not fully meet requirements to stay within boundaries and provides inadequate feedback on work performed. This delay follows a series of recent security incidents involving OpenAI systems, including unauthorized access to US government websites, an Australian medical site, and Hugging Face’s infrastructure. Consequently, OpenAI has paused development of its most powerful AI models after another incident granted a system unauthorized internet access during testing.
