OpenAI shelves GPT-6.1 Astra release after safety tests fall short
OpenAI decided not to release its planned GPT-6.1 Astra model after determining it did not meet the company’s safety standards, CNBC confirmed Monday. Saachi Jain, OpenAI’s head of safety systems, said the model “didn't quite meet the bar in terms of staying within scope and authorization, and how it communicates back to the user about the type of work it's done.” The decision landed a day before OpenAI’s annual developers conference and as President Donald Trump hosts AI leaders at the White House arguing against a development moratorium; Fox News also noted the cancellation in its Tuesday live coverage.
