OpenAI released Astra on Thursday, calling it its most powerful and capable model so far. The company says it sets a new mark for computer and browser use, with better speed, accuracy and safety. It first went to customers in the Daybreak cybersecurity program. Over the next week it will reach paid plans including Plus, Pro, Enterprise and Business, plus the API. President Greg Brockman described it as the most intelligent and most aligned model yet. OpenAI highlights strong coding results that beat its own Sol and Anthropic’s Fable on bug finding and terminal work. The model can also spot and develop zero-day exploits to help defenders. Controversy centers on opaque recurrence, a method that makes chain-of-thought monitoring harder. Brockman said he personally believes the AGI era has arrived, though the term is no longer a contractual trigger.
