OpenAI's automated jailbreak red-teaming of Astra burned ~200K A100-equivalent GPU-hours
haider1 · x · 2026-09-04
Citing OpenAI, Astra exceeds 3 of 4 High-level biology thresholds — two possibly near saturation — so it is precautionarily classified as High overall. Haider notes the red-teaming effort alone was enormous: the automated jailbreak portion consumed roughly 200,000 A100-equivalent GPU-hours, showing safety evaluation is now a major compute line item.
