OpenAI says it plans to publicly release a version of Astra "soon" but will make its advanced cyber capabilities available only to select partners (Wired)

Astra employs a “recurrent depth” technique that lowers computational cost and boosts performance but makes the model’s internal reasoning harder to monitor.
