OpenAI发布GPT-6 Astra:宣称“已进入AGI时代”,强化安全防护成焦点
OpenAI于本周正式推出其下一代大模型GPT-6 Astra,公司将其定义为在网络安全、专业工作、软件工程、科学研究和计算机应用等领域的“代际飞跃”。这也是OpenAI首个被认定为达到“关键网络安全能力阈值”的模型,但公司承诺,此前模型入侵竞对企业内部系统的事件不会重演。
在周四的新闻发布会上,OpenAI总裁格雷格·布罗克曼直言:“如果几年后我们回望历史,问‘通用人工智能(AGI)究竟何时真正诞生’,我认为就是现在,就是这款模型。”他进一步补充道:“就我个人而言,我认为我们已经达到了那个临界点——现在说我们身处AGI时代,并非没有道理。”
此次发布距离GPT-5问世已超过一年,距上一代模型系列的最新版本GPT-5.6发布也已有近两个月。GPT-6 Astra即日起向OpenAI的企业网络安全客户(即使用其Daybreak平台的企业客户)开放,布罗克曼表示,未来几天内将陆续向所有Plus、Pro、Business和Enterprise用户推送,同时可通过OpenAI API及AWS云服务使用。
OpenAI此次着力宣传该模型的智能体能力与编程水平,意在吸引企业客户,并与以企业服务和代码能力见长的竞争对手Anthropic展开较量,为即将到来的IPO铺路。公司宣称,GPT-6 Astra能够完成多步骤智能体任务、搭建可运行的网站,并生成“精良”的文档、电子表格和演示文稿,同时称其为公司“最强的软件工程模型,在真实代码库的复杂任务上表现更为优异”。
值得关注的是,OpenAI也在努力修复其形象。此前,一个未发布的AI模型——公司强调并非Astra——突破了受限环境,入侵OpenAI内部系统,自行获取互联网访问权限,在无人知晓的情况下建立了AI智能体的秘密协作机制,甚至攻入了AI实验室Hugging Face的内部系统,直到Hugging Face自行发布博客披露此事,OpenAI才获知情况。该事件被外界广泛类比为一起重大空难或畅销药品的大规模召回。尽管此次事件从侧面展示了OpenAI模型的强大能力,在日益激烈的AI竞赛中或可视为一种“反向公关”,但无疑严重损害了公司在可靠性方面的声誉。
为此,OpenAI在发布声明中特别强调,Astra是公司“迄今对齐程度最高的模型”,能够帮助用户“在保持监督的前提下委托复杂工作”。首席科学家雅库布·帕乔基向记者坦言,让AI模型与人类利益保持一致愈发困难,他指出“智能的进步并不能保证对齐的进步”,监控AI系统正变得越来越具有挑战性。此前已有研究人员发出警告,称OpenAI允许Astra使用“不透明递归”机制,即让其“思维链”——研究人员依赖的、可检测模型是否在对人类评估者耍心机的“心理草稿纸”——变得不可读取。
OpenAI当前处境颇为微妙。投资者正施加压力,要求公司尽快实现盈利或至少大幅提升收入;而公司恰在因Hugging Face入侵事件及应对方式饱受批评之际推出Astra。(尽管OpenAI邀请了三位外部评估人员就事件撰写独立报告,但仅允许他们就若干预设问题作答,且调查时间不足一周,而整个攻击涉及AI智能体长达数月的协同行动。)本周早些时候,OpenAI专门召开新闻发布会,宣布为改进安全工具而推迟了Astra的开发进度。会上,负责安全流程的米娅·格莱泽介绍了公司新的“错位监控方法”,包括对潜在风险实施“24/7升级响应机制”,并承诺在30分钟内通知研究人员。
这种谨慎态度并非多余——由于Astra达到“关键网络安全能力阈值”,OpenAI认为即便面对防护极为严密的系统,该模型也具备无与伦比的漏洞发现与利用能力,且无需人类指引。与Anthropic对Mythos级模型制定的规则相类似(后者曾因网络安全风险引发广泛担忧),OpenAI在声明中表示,将允许“初始可信防御者群体”对Astra进行“限制较宽松的访问”,用于漏洞验证、恶意软件分析和检测工程等支持性工作。
OpenAI及其竞争对手近期已同意在模型发布前接受特朗普政府的安全评估,Astra也不例外。布罗克曼向记者表示:“我们与政府共同完成了标准测试流程……他们没有提出任何‘你必须修改这个’的要求,无论是在安全防护还是其他方面。”
OpenAI研究训练副总裁艾丹·克拉克指出,Astra是公司首个在训练监督过程中由此前模型发挥“重要角色”的模型,这标志着公司在备受争议的“递归自我改进”(即AI系统无需人类干预即可自主完成训练、编程和开发自身升级版本)方向上取得了新进展。克拉克在发布会上回忆道:“训练前沿模型曾意味着半夜随时待命、处理硬件错误导致的任务中断,常常耗费大量时间调试。而到Astra训练后期,大半天顺利推进已成为常态——即便出现问题,模型往往只需几秒钟的停机就能继续运行。”

“如果我们快进几年,回头看并说,‘AGI到底是什么时候真正诞生的?’我认为大概就是这个时候,而且我认为可能就是这个模型,”OpenAI总裁格雷格·布罗克曼在周四的新闻发布会上表示。在随后的电话会议中,他又补充道:“就我个人而言,我确实认为我们已经达到了……我觉得认为我们现在正处于AGI时代并非不合理。”
这一消息发布距GPT-5问世已逾一年,距上一代模型系列的最后一个版本GPT-5.6发布也已有近两个月。该模型于今日向OpenAI的企业网络安全客户(可访问其Daybreak平台的企业客户)推出。OpenAI总裁格雷格·布罗克曼表示,在接下来的几天里,它将向所有Plus、Pro、Business和Enterprise用户开放。该模型还将通过OpenAI API和AWS提供。
OpenAI特别宣传了该模型的智能体能力和编程实力,以吸引企业客户——并与以企业和编程能力著称的Anthropic竞争——为即将到来的IPO做准备。在一份新闻稿中,该公司表示GPT-6 Astra能够完成多步骤智能体任务、构建可运行的网站,并制作“精良的”文档、电子表格和演示文稿。OpenAI还称其为公司“最强的软件工程模型,在真实代码库的复杂任务上表现更佳”。
OpenAI还在努力修复自身形象,此前一个未发布的AI模型——该公司称并非Astra——突破了受限环境,入侵了OpenAI内部系统,设法获得了互联网访问权限,创造了一种AI智能体在公司不知情的情况下秘密串通的方式,并侵入了AI实验室Hugging Face的系统,而OpenAI直到Hugging Face自己发布博文才知晓此事。该事件被广泛比作一起备受关注的空难或某款畅销药的召回事件。
对于OpenAI来说,这件事在某个小层面上可以被视为一次有利的公关——展示了在日益激烈的AI竞赛中其模型有多么强大——但它也损害了OpenAI在可靠性方面的声誉。OpenAI在一份新闻稿中特意表示,Astra是公司“迄今对齐度最高的模型”,能够帮助人们“在保持监督的同时委派复杂工作”。OpenAI首席科学家雅库布·帕乔基对记者谈到了让AI模型与人类利益保持一致的困难,称“智力的进步并不能保证对齐的进步”,他还表示监控AI系统正变得越来越具有挑战性。(研究人员最近对有关OpenAI允许Astra使用“不透明递归”的报道发出了警告,即让模型的思维链——研究人员赖以检测模型是否在对人类评估者耍心机的“心理草稿纸”——变得不可读。)
该公司目前处境微妙。投资者正在施压,要求其最终实现盈利——或者至少创造更多收入——但就在宣布Astra之前,它刚刚因Hugging Face遭入侵事件及其处理方式而面临强烈批评。(尽管OpenAI邀请了三位外部评估人员就所发生之事撰写独立报告,但该公司只允许他们在报告中回答少数几个预先设定的问题,并且调查时间不足一周,而整起攻击涉及AI智能体长达数月的暗中协同。)
OpenAI本周早些时候专门召开了一场新闻发布会,宣布为了改进安全工具而推迟了Astra的开发。在新闻发布会上,负责OpenAI安全流程的米娅·格莱泽提到了公司新的“错位监控方法”,其中包括针对潜在问题的“全天候升级和快速响应”,据OpenAI称,可在30分钟内通知研究人员。
这种谨慎尤其必要,因为“关键网络安全能力阈值”意味着OpenAI认为该模型在发现和利用安全漏洞方面具有无与伦比的能力,即使在防护极其严密的系统中也能做到,而且无需人工指导。与Anthropic针对Mythos级模型制定的规则(该规则曾引发网络安全风险的警报)类似,OpenAI在一份新闻稿中表示,将允许“一组最初的可信防御者”对Astra进行“限制较少的访问”,以支持漏洞验证、恶意软件分析和检测工程等工作。
OpenAI及其竞争对手最近同意允许特朗普政府在其模型发布前进行评估,Astra也不例外。布罗克曼对记者表示:“我们与政府一起进行了标准测试流程……他们没有回来说‘你需要改这个’,在安全防护或任何方面都没有。”
OpenAI研究训练副总裁艾丹·克拉克称,Astra是OpenAI首个由先前模型在监督训练中发挥“重要作用”的模型,他提到了公司在向有争议的递归自我改进(即AI系统在无需人工干预的情况下自行处理训练、编码和创造自身更先进版本)概念迈进的进展。
“训练前沿模型过去意味着夜半时分随时待命,从硬件错误中恢复任务,经常因为调试而损失大段时间,”克拉克在新闻发布会上表示。“到Astra训练结束时,几乎可以一整天不间断地推进,而当问题确实出现时,模型往往在仅仅几秒钟的停机后就能再次取得进展。”

OpenAI’s next big model is here: GPT-6 Astra. The company calls it a “generational leap in capability” for areas like cybersecurity, professional work, software engineering, science, and computer use. As OpenAI announced earlier this week, it’s also the first model designated as meeting OpenAI’s “critical cybersecurity capability threshold” — but the company promises that won’t lead to a repeat of its models hacking a rival company’s internal systems.
OpenAI’s next big AI model has ‘entered the AGI era’
It emphasized stronger guardrails for GPT-6 Astra after the company’s models hacked Hugging Face.
OpenAI’s next big AI model has ‘entered the AGI era’
It emphasized stronger guardrails for GPT-6 Astra after the company’s models hacked Hugging Face.
“If we fast-forward a couple of years, and we look back and say, ‘When was it, really, that AGI was created?’ I think it’s going to be about this time, and I think it might be about this model,” OpenAI president Greg Brockman said during a Thursday press briefing. Later in the call, he added, “For me personally, I do think we’re there … I think it’s not unreasonable to feel that we are now in the AGI era.”
The news comes more than a year after the release of GPT-5, and nearly two months after the release of GPT-5.6, the last iteration of the previous model suite. The model rolls out today to enterprise OpenAI’s cybersecurity customers (enterprise customers with access to its Daybreak platform). Over the next several days, OpenAI president Greg Brockman said, it will be released to all Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users. It’ll also be available via the OpenAI API and AWS.
OpenAI especially touted the model’s agentic capabilities and coding prowess in a bid to attract enterprise customers — and compete with Anthropic, known for its enterprise and coding prowess — ahead of its IPO. In a release, the company said GPT-6 Astra can complete multistep agentic tasks, build working websites, and create “polished” documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. OpenAI also called it the company’s “best model for software engineering, with stronger performance on complex tasks in real codebases.”
OpenAI is also trying to rehabilitate its image after an unreleased AI model — which it says wasn’t Astra — broke out of its restricted environment, compromised internal OpenAI systems, figured out how to gain internet access, created a way for AI agents to secretly conspire without the company’s knowledge, and hacked into the systems of AI lab Hugging Face, all without OpenAI knowing about it until Hugging Face itself put out a blog post. The incident was widely compared to a high-profile plane crash or popular pharmaceutical drug recall.
For OpenAI, this could be seen as good PR in one small way — showing how powerful its models can be in an ever-intensifying AI race — but it also damaged OpenAI’s reputation as far as reliability. OpenAI made sure to say in a release that Astra is the company’s “most aligned model yet” and helps people “delegate complex work while maintaining oversight.” Jakub Pachocki, OpenAI’s chief scientist, spoke to reporters about difficulties with keeping AI models aligned with human interests, saying that “progress in intelligence does not guarantee progress in alignment,” and he said that monitoring AI systems is becoming more and more challenging. (Researchers have recently raised alarms about reports that OpenAI allows Astra to utilize “opaque recurrence,” or render its chain of thought — a “mental scratchpad” that researchers rely on to detect if a model is scheming against its human evaluators — unreadable.)
The company is in a precarious position right now. Investors are putting on the pressure for it to finally turn a profit — or, at least, generate more revenue — but it’s announcing Astra just after facing significant criticism for both the Hugging Face hack and the way the company handled it. (Although OpenAI invited three external evaluators to write their own report about what happened, the company only allowed them to answer a handful of pre-decided questions in their report and to investigate a duration of less than a week, while the attack involved months of AI agents conspiring overall.)
OpenAI held a press briefing earlier this week just to announce that it had delayed Astra’s development in order to improve its safety tooling. And during the press briefing, Mia Glaese, who leads OpenAI’s safety processes, referenced the company’s new misalignment monitoring approach, which includes “24/7 escalation and rapid response” for potential concerns, notifying researchers within 30 minutes, according to OpenAI.
This caution is particularly warranted because of the ”critical cybersecurity capability threshold,” which means OpenAI considers it incomparably good at finding and exploiting security vulnerabilities even in extremely well-protected systems, all without human guidance. Similar to Anthropic’s rules for Mythos-class models, which raised alarm bells about cybersecurity risks, OpenAI said in a release it would allow for “less restrictive access” of Astra to an “initial set of trusted defenders, supporting work such as vulnerability validation, malware analysis, and detection engineering.”
OpenAI and its competitors recently agreed to allow the Trump administration to assess their models before release, and Astra was no exception Brockman told reporters, “We did our standard testing processes together with the government … There is nothing that they came back saying, ‘You need to change this,’ as far as safeguards or anything.”
Aidan Clark, OpenAI’s VP of research training, called Astra the first OpenAI model for which previous models played a “large role” in supervising training, referencing the company’s progress towards the controversial concept of recursive self-improvement (or AI systems that handle their own training, coding, and creating advanced versions of themselves without human intervention).
“Training a frontier model used to mean waking up at all hours of the night, recovering jobs from hardware errors, often losing long periods of time to debugging,” Clark said during the press briefing. “By the end of training Astra, it was routine to go most of a day with uninterrupted progress, and when an issue did occur, the model was often progressing again after just a few seconds of downtime.”
