OpenAI announced that its upcoming AI model, Astra, is the first to exceed its 'Critical' cybersecurity capability threshold, meaning it can autonomously find and exploit previously unknown security vulnerabilities. This marks Astra as the most advanced AI under OpenAI's Preparedness Framework, which tracks AI risks. Although Astra will be released soon, access to its cybersecurity features will be limited due to potential risks. The company delayed parts of Astra's development to strengthen safeguards after a recent cyber incident involving other models. OpenAI plans to share more safety and security details at Astra's launch.
