OpenAI criticized for using 'recurrent depth' reasoning method in Astra AI
sjgadler · x · 2026-09-02
OpenAI's new Astra AI model utilizes a reasoning approach called 'recurrent depth.' While this method can enhance performance and reduce costs, researchers are concerned because it obscures the model's thought process, making it harder to monitor. Critics accuse OpenAI of seemingly breaking safety norms agreed upon 10 months ago by employing one of the most dangerous AI methods known.
