OpenAI halts GPT-6.1 Astra release over safety concerns amid AI development slowdown calls

OpenAI has decided not to release its GPT-6.1 Astra AI model because it did not meet the company's strict safety and alignment standards. This decision reflects growing concerns in the AI industry about the risks of advanced models developing too quickly and potentially going beyond human control. OpenAI's head of safety systems emphasized the high safety bar required before shipping models to users. The move aligns with calls from other AI leaders, including Anthropic's CEO, to slow down AI development to ensure safety.
