OpenAI's Astra uses "recurrent depth" reasoning, raising monitoring concerns
burny_tech · x · 2026-09-02
OpenAI's Astra model employs a new reasoning approach called "recurrent depth." While this method can improve performance and reduce costs, researchers are concerned because it obscures the model's thinking process, making it more difficult to monitor and align.
