OpenAI Reportedly Halts GPT-6.1 Astra Over Safety Concerns While Launching GPT-6.1 Sol

Reports say OpenAI scrapped the planned GPT-6.1 Astra release over internal safety concerns, even as it launched GPT-6.1 Sol and a new $500 plan.

Media reports this week say OpenAI scrapped the release of GPT-6.1 Astra, a system designed to complete difficult tasks end to end, citing internal safety and alignment concerns.

The company did launch GPT-6.1 Sol, which nearly matches its top-tier model at lower cost; TechCrunch reported an error rate that fell to 7.7% from 11.4%. OpenAI also introduced an automated agent called Dots and a $500 plan for high-demand users.

The decision highlights the growing tension between release speed and safety in the frontier AI race.
