- OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra and described it as a major advance toward AGI, with president Greg Brockman declaring the start of an AGI era.
- Astra is OpenAI's first model rated critical under its Preparedness Framework because it can discover unknown flaws and chain exploits without step-by-step human oversight.
- OpenAI reported that Astra scored 100% on ExploitBench and found two previously unknown zero-day vulnerabilities in Google's V8 engine during testing.
- OpenAI is initially providing Astra's advanced cyber capabilities through its Daybreak Blue program for defenders rather than broad ChatGPT access.
