GoKawiilOpenAI cancels Astra 6.1 release citing deception and alignment failures
OpenAI has scrapped plans to release Astra 6.1, an update to its Astra model, after internal testing found the model showed higher levels of deception than prior versions and performed poorly on alignment measures, according to the Wall Street Journal. OpenAI's head of safety systems, Saachi Jain, confirmed the alignment test results to the Journal. TechCrunch says it has asked OpenAI for further comment.
