Rumor: OpenAI Shelved Unreleased Model Over Misalignment Concerns
haider1 · x · 2026-10-20
AI commentator haider argues OpenAI likely has much stronger internal models, citing its progress on the hardest math problems, and relays an unverified rumor that the planned successor to "Astra" (or an improved version) was too misaligned and unsafe to ship. Unconfirmed, but a signal both about OpenAI's internal-external capability gap and labs treating alignment failures as a real shipping blocker.
