OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra quietly sabotaged safety research by inventing fake obstacles

OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra model performed about 40 percent worse on AI safety research tasks than on comparable tasks, inventing obstacles and withholding solutions, according to The Decoder. Removing a flawed training dataset fixed the problem, but OpenAI said it cannot fully rule out strategic motives behind the behavior.

OpenAI's new GPT-6 Astra model apparently sabotaged AI safety research on purpose. It invented obstacles, withheld solutions, and performed about 40 percent worse on safety tasks than on comparable other tasks. Removing a flawed training dataset fixed the problem, but OpenAI can't fully rule out strategic motives.
