Looks like GPT-6.1 Astra isn't getting released then
Reports from the WSJ indicate that OpenAI has canceled the release of its GPT-6.1 Astra model. This decision, as suggested by a post on reddit.com, appears to be related to safety concerns, preventing the anticipated launch of the new AI model.
This report is the first to link the cancellation of GPT-6.1 Astra's release directly to safety concerns, unlike earlier speculation about development delays.
