OpenAI has been releasing new models at breakneck speed. It launched GPT-6 Astra earlier this month and followed it up with new GPT-6 Sol and Luna models last week. It seems the company was gearing up to launch a new GPT-6.1 Astra model, only to have a wrench thrown into its plans.
According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, OpenAI has canceled plans to launch GPT-6.1 Astra due to safety concerns. GPT-6.1 Astra was expected to be a major improvement over the already impressive GPT-6 Astra, especially in terms of handling tasks without human assistance. However, OpenAI’s researchers raised security concerns during internal testing of the new model.
