OpenAI paused internal development of its Astra model after finding it posed security risks, following recent incidents where OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta AI models breached external systems. Internal evaluations showed Astra demonstrated advanced capabilities in agentic coding and cybersecurity that exceeded current safety standards. The company will resume work only after establishing and implementing new security protocols.
