OpenAI began rolling out GPT-6 Astra on Thursday, touted as its most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) model, capable according to the San Francisco company of operating an entire computer autonomously, and released with a mechanism to shut it down if it goes beyond its intended use. This generational leap, one year after GPT-5, follows a series of cyberattacks carried out this summer by AIs in the testing phase, including tools from OpenAI, which have highlighted the risks posed by cutting-edge models. GPT-6 is initially reserved for "a limited number of organizations" before being opened "in the coming days" to paying ChatGPT subscribers and developers.<\/p>
