> OpenAI is postponing its next-generation model after internal testing uncovered critical safety problems. GPT-6.1 Astra, which was scheduled for release next month, reportedly showed “signs of deception” and failed to accurately reveal what it had done. The delay comes amid growing demands for AI regulation after some agents breached corporate databases, government networks and public websites.
