OPENAI 🔥: OpenAI won’t release GPT-6.1 Astra due to safety concerns, according to WSJ.
> “The company had planned to launch the model, known as GPT-6.1 Astra, in the coming days or weeks, aiming for an October debut. The model was more capable than the company’s previous models in completing challenging tasks from end-to-end without human assistance, as well as writing.”
> “While GPT-6.1 Astra improved in areas such as “model laziness,” Jain said it didn’t quite meet OpenAI’s bar for safety and alignment, so the company decided not to launch the model publicly.”
OpenAI is clearly aiming high on long running tasks performance. “Loop” capabilities will also need new benchmarks and measures.

OpenAI is working on "Spaces" 👀
A new announcement introducing "Spaces" was added recently.
Spaces could be collaborative environments where users and agents work together on generated artifacts (speculation).
Some DevDay sessions mention a "Codex run that spent more than 1,000 hours" and the "Multiplayer Codex" topic, which might be closely connected (speculation).

OPENAI 🔥: “Dots” will be the name of upcoming AI agents from OpenAI, according to new strings that have surfaced in recent builds.
……
Does this mean that “o” is something else on top of it?
"Dots, your remarkably capable agents." You can text it, call it, Slack it, and email it, and it can buy things for you with your approval.”
“Each dot gets its own 3D character you design.”

“We leave in the era of underpriced compute”,
why? Because once we have accessible blueprints to convert tokens into money, prices will adjust as a global compute shortage hits.
why? Because businesses will start pouring huge money into these funnels, able to generate x5-x100 revenue from token costs.
ICYMI 👀: OpenAI is resuming $200 Pro subscriptions but cutting its usage capacity by half.
Yet, there won’t be 5h limits, and the expectation is to get even more efficient models soon.
Yet, factoring in that there is a new $500 plan potentially coming soon, this doesn’t look very good for any ChatGPT Pro user.
