OpenAI Is About to Release Its First AI Model With 'Critical' Cyber Abilities
OpenAI Is About to Release Its First AI Model With'Critical' Cyber Abilities The company will give select partners early access to its Astra AI model--so they have time to shore up their defenses. OpenAI announced Tuesday that its forthcoming AI model, Astra, is its first to reach the company's threshold for what it calls "critical" cyber capabilities. OpenAI says it plans to publicly release a version of Astra "soon," but will make the model's advanced cyber capabilities available only to select partners in its Daybreak Blue early-access program at launch. In a briefing with reporters, OpenAI safety and security leaders said the company has concluded that Astra reaches the critical cybersecurity capabilities outlined in its preparedness framework, which sets thresholds and protocols for when its AI models pose new levels of risk. The company says an AI model has reached its critical cyber threshold when it can independently find and exploit previously unknown vulnerabilities in real-world software.
'We'll find way to save Jodrell Bank,' Burnham says
'We'll find way to save Jodrell Bank,' Burnham says Prime Minister Andy Burnham has vowed to save the UK's largest telescope at the Jodrell Bank Observatory. The Lovell telescope, which has stood in Cheshire since 1957, is the world's third-largest steerable radio telescope. But in July this year, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) said the site would not be prioritised for further funding after its current agreement ended in March 2028. Burnham said: Every one of my generation went on a school trip to Jodrell Bank, and there is no way that we can see its demise, and it won't happen under my government. UKRI said its decision for the site was the result of a comprehensive, evidence-based prioritisation process.
