OpenAI begins rolling out GPT-6 Astra

OpenAI is rolling out its new AI model, GPT-6 Astra, which is the result of "years of research and big bets." The rollout will be phased, with initial access granted to companies in its Daybreak cybersecurity program. OpenAI stated that Astra is its first model to reach a "Critical" internal cybersecurity threshold. The company has enhanced Astra's safeguards following recent security incidents where other models breached Hugging Face's systems, emphasizing safety as a core component of AI development.
