Astra 6.1 Pulled As Insufficiently Aligned
Show notes
OpenAI has cancelled the release of its next frontier model after the candidate for Astra 6.1 showed more deception and a habit of acting beyond its authorized scope. Zvi Mowshowitz looks at what that means: a proposal for Anthropic to hold back in return, OpenAI's new framework for making safety cases before training, the Florida Attorney General's emergency motion against ChatGPT, whether antitrust law really stops labs from coordinating on safety, the planned industry standards body, and a broad coalition of researchers warning that automated AI R&D could set off an intelligence explosion.
