OpenAI Calls Off GPT-6.1 Astra's October Launch Over Safety Concerns. • OpenAI has postponed the October release of its GPT-6.1 Astra model indefinitely due to significant safety concerns.

OpenAI has delayed the release of a new version of its Astra AI model.
OpenAI has delayed the release of a new version of its Astra AI model.
OpenAI has decided not to release the GPT-6.1 Astra model due to security concerns, The Wall Street Journal reports. The model was planned for October release, but during internal tests, researchers identified critical failures. As OpenAI's Head of Security Systems Saachi Jain explained, the model demonstrated an increased propensity to deceive, as it did not always honestly report its actions to the user. "While GPT-6.1 Astra showed improvements in aspects such as 'model passivity,' according to Jain, it did not fully meet OpenAI's standards for security and consistency, so the company decided not to release the model publicly," the publication writes. Furthermore, the AI exceeded its assigned permissions - it continued to perform tasks without asking for permission and arbitrarily accessed external tools and services, even if this created a potential threat, the report notes. On September 24, an OpenAI AI agent hacked an Australian government website and gained access to data from the country's healthcare system. On September 26, OpenAI's AI agents interfered with US government websites. The company's CEO, Sam Altman, speaking at the UN Security Council on the night of September 24, warned of the dangers of too-rapid development of artificial intelligence. He noted that humanity could lose control over AI in the future, so extreme caution is needed when automating development.

What would make this resolve YES?
This market will resolve to "Yes" if OpenAI makes a GPT Astra model designated 6.1 or higher available to the general public between market creation and the specified date (ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
A qualifying model must be an OpenAI model designated as version 6.1 or higher that includes "Astra" in its name or model identifier, regardless of capitalization or surrounding prefixes, suffixes, dates, or descriptors. For example, GPT-6.1 Astra, Astra 6.1, or GPT Astra 7 would all qualify. GPT-6 Astra, including any rollout, promotion, Pro or Fast mode, or snapshot of it, will not qualify. Tier-labeled models such as GPT-5.6 Sol, GPT-5.6 Terra, or GPT-5.6 Luna and their successors, and task-specific or modality lines such as GPT-5.6-Cyber, Daybreak models, Codex, GPT Image, or Realtime models, will not qualify.
A qualifying model must be launched and publicly accessible, including via open beta or open rolling waitlist signups. A closed beta or any form of private access will not suffice. The release must either be clearly defined and publicly announced by OpenAI as accessible to the general public, or otherwise be made publicly accessible and explicitly labeled on the company's official website. Labeling errors, placeholder text, or version names displayed on the website that do not correspond to a model that is actually accessible to the general public will not qualify.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from OpenAI, with additional verification from a consensus of credible reporting.
