GPT-6 Astra: OpenAI's "Critical Risk" AI Model Rolls Out

OpenAI has officially launched GPT-6 Astra, a new model rolling out immediately. The company calls Astra "the world’s most intelligent and aligned model." Here's the thing: Astra is the first OpenAI model designated a "critical" cybersecurity risk. However, OpenAI states they have safeguards in place. The company confirmed this critical risk designation before the launch. What's interesting is that Astra's most advanced cybersecurity skills will only be available to select testing partners. This is because, with the right tools, Astra can find unknown security flaws and develop new exploits. OpenAI says GPT-6 Astra will be available to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users "over the coming days." It will also be available via the OpenAI API and AWS. API pricing is $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens. The bottom line: This new model brings both advanced capabilities and new security considerations for users.
