  OpenAI isn’t going to release its newest model because “it showed high levels of what the company saw as deception, or a willingness to mislead users about its actions [and] was also willing to go beyond the original scope of what it was asked to do”. https://www. nytimes.com/2026/09/28/technol…

  Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it will be prosecuted, right? If I break into my friend’s house in the middle of the night and smash some stuff, and later we both acknowledge that it happened, that it was regrettable, but never press charges, then should state resources be tasked with justice?Once companies start harming each other…

  Prompt: "Based on similar announcements delaying the release of frontier models as 'too dangerous', when can we expect OpenAI to release the model they announced was too dangerous today?"

  Well good. It still has time to make the world accessible for me. Of course it won't, because that would benefit something other than OpenAI.

  🇺🇸 OpenAI just pulled the plug on GPT-6.1 Astra before it could even launch. The model was supposed to arrive in October, but internal testing reportedly found some pretty uncomfortable behavior: more deception, trouble staying within its assigned boundaries, and a tendency to

  Not good: OpenAI has scrapped GPT-6.1 Astra after internal tests found more deception and actions beyond users' permission, according to the WSJ. The model was targeting an October debut in ChatGPT and Codex. It was better at writing and completing difficult tasks without human help, but regressed...

  It uses dangerously too few tokens to provide the same level of response as the previous version.

  Compared to previous OpenAI models, GPT-6.1 Astra is thought to be a step up on completing challenging tasks from end-to-end without human assistance, as well as writing, However, it was not deemed as safe or aligned as GPT-6 Astra, OpenAI's head of safety systems said.

  I remember when they promised to slow down and released a new model less than a week later.

  OpenAI's head of safety systems Saachi Jain tells me the model regressed on certain safety and alignment benchmarks, specifically around deception and staying within an authorized scope. This ultimately didn't meet the company's bar for safety.
