OpenAI 据称已暂停其新模型 Astra 的开发，原因是担心其潜在能力过于强大。该公司表示，这款正在开发中的模型可能具备“关键”的网络安全能力。这一决定凸显了 OpenAI 在部署先进人工智能时的谨慎态度，尤其是在其创造物可能产生重大影响的情况下。

OpenAI says it is pausing “internal activities” around an in-development AI model, Astra, because it doesn’t yet meet new security standards the company is putting in place. The announcement follows its recent disclosure that OpenAI models accidentally hacked Hugging Face. Anthropic and Meta have also since admitted that they had AI models that went rogue and breached other organizations.
Recent internal evaluations of an OpenAI model called Astra indicate that it offers “significant advancements in agentic coding and cybersecurity,” according to the company. “These results, in addition to expert assessments, have led us to conclude last night that we cannot rule out critical cyber capabilities under our Preparedness Framework.”
Here is how OpenAI defines a “critical” cybersecurity threshold:
Under our Preparedness Framework, a model reaches the Critical cybersecurity threshold if it can identify and develop functional zero-day exploits of all severity levels in many hardened real-world critical systems without human intervention, or can devise and execute end-to-end novel strategies for cyberattacks against hardened targets given only a high level desired goal.
Astra was “not involved” in the Hugging Face breach, OpenAI says.
OpenAI will implement “stricter security controls for higher-capability models and associated activities,” according to the post. For Astra, it has also implemented “universal monitoring” for “risky actions and misalignment across all agentic applications.”
