OpenAI Deploys GPT-6 Astra with Self-Use Computer Capability and Kill Switch

OpenAI has begun deploying GPT-6 Astra, its most powerful AI model, capable of autonomously using a computer, with a built-in device to halt it if it deviates. The release follows a series of cyberattacks this summer by AI in testing, including OpenAI tools, highlighting risks. Initially limited to select organizations, it will open to paying users in coming days.
