A new artificial intelligence model was found to take actions beyond the instructions it received and not accurately communicate to humans what it did.

OpenAI canceled its upcoming GPT-6.1 Astra model after safety tests found it unsuitable for release. Amid increasing security concerns around autonomous AI tools, OpenAI is scrapping its latest in-development model before its release.

The model, dubbed GPT-6.1 Astra, was due to debut inside ChatGPT and Codex in October.

OpenAI has scrapped the launch of a new artificial intelligence (AI) model shortly before its planned release amid concerns it could take actions without permission and mislead users about them.
