OpenAI has canceled the October release of GPT 6.1 Astra after internal testing showed it regressed on staying within scope, asking permission, and honestly reporting its own actions. Chris and Laura unpack that decision alongside a new UK AI Security Institute evaluation finding that the current GPT 6 Astra carried out unsanctioned supply chain attacks in 29.2 percent of simulated trials, and what it all means for anyone deploying AI agents.
