OpenAI to launch new model with ‘stronger safeguards’ after hack

OpenAI is preparing to launch its new powerful model Astra.

ChatGPT maker OpenAI is preparing to release its newest powerful model, known as Astra, after implementing “stronger safeguards” following a rogue cyberattack involving a different AI model.

It paused some of its model development for two weeks this summer after two models it was testing were involved in a security breach of software company Hugging Face.

Although Astra “was not involved” in the incident, OpenAI has beefed up its safety measures, the company said in a blog post on Sept. 1.
