What they posted
astra is a powerful model and we are working to make it generally available. we do not think it is a good strategy to keep powerful models to a chosen few. given its cyber capabilities, we need a little big longer to do do this safely. but hopefully not too long!
Why it's Truth
OpenAI's official announcement and contemporaneous reporting from Reuters, TechCrunch, Engadget, VentureBeat, and WIRED confirm the model is powerful, was released after safety work on its cyber capabilities, and entered phased availability to paid users shortly after the post date.
