OpenAI says it will not release Astra, its newest artificial intelligence model, citing unresolved safety concerns. The decision, reported by the New York Times, is drawing attention as one of the few public cases of an AI company holding back a finished model over internal risk assessments rather than delaying it for technical or commercial reasons.
Why now: A leading AI company publicly shelving a new model on safety grounds is unusual and fuels debate over AI risks and industry self-regulation.
