To mitigate risks, OpenAI plans to monitor Astra's chain of thought, but a report indicates that this monitoring is an unreliable mirror of the model's actual decisions, and Astra's new architecture pushes more of its reasoning into unreadable territory, potentially weakening the safety net as capabilities increase.", "body_md": "OpenAI is officially rating its upcoming Astra model as the first system with \"critical\" cyber capabilities. The company plans to keep it in check by monitoring the chain of thought. Problem is, that monitoring already counts as an unreliable mirror of a model's real decisions, and according to a report, Astra's new architecture pushes even more of its thinking into the unreadable. So the safety net might be getting weaker just as the capabilities jump.\n\nThe article [OpenAI calls Astra its most dangerous model yet - watching what it does is only getting harder](https://the-decoder.com/openai-calls-astra-its-most-dangerous-model-yet-watching-what-it-does-is-only-getting-harder/) appeared first on [The Decoder](https://the-decoder.com).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/openai-calls-astra-its-most-dangerous-model-yet-watching-what-it-does-is-only", "canonical_source": "https://the-decoder.com/openai-calls-astra-its-most-dangerous-model-yet-watching-what-it-does-is-only-getting-harder/", "published_at": "2026-09-02 14:20:28+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-02 14:27:24.733050+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-safety", "ai-policy", "artificial-intelligence"], "entities": ["OpenAI", "Astra"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/openai-calls-astra-its-most-dangerous-model-yet-watching-what-it-does-is-only", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/openai-calls-astra-its-most-dangerous-model-yet-watching-what-it-does-is-only.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/openai-calls-astra-its-most-dangerous-model-yet-watching-what-it-does-is-only.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/openai-calls-astra-its-most-dangerous-model-yet-watching-what-it-does-is-only.jsonld"}}
