OpenAI said it cannot exclude the possibility that its new Astra model has reached “Critical” capability, meaning it could execute cyberattacks against advanced cyber defenses, according to CNBC and Decrypt. The lab tightened controls on the model pending enhanced safeguards. The move comes as Meta launched Muse Glimmer and announced plans to open-source Muse Spark 1.2 weights, a competing approach to AI development and deployment.
