OpenAI Halts Astra After Internal Evaluation Finds Critical Cyber Threshold Breached

OpenAI has paused development of its in-development Astra model after internal evaluations concluded it may meet the 'critical' cybersecurity threshold defined in the company's Preparedness Framework. That threshold covers models capable of autonomously developing zero-day exploits in hardened systems or executing end-to-end cyberattack strategies without human intervention. In response, OpenAI is tightening security controls for high-capability models and rolling out universal monitoring for risky or misaligned agentic behavior.
