holy shit openai actually delaying releases based on its past commitments and frameworks ?? that's a new one, happy to see this

Driving the news: OpenAI said "we cannot rule out critical cyber capabilities" after running internal evaluations of Astra, one of its upcoming models.
- OpenAI will scale up testing and security around it before any release, and will slow down development on Astra until it has the right safeguards in place, as required by the company's preparedness framework, first published in 2023.
- Astra was not involved in the Hugging Face exploits, the company said.
- While the timing of the model's release was unclear, with this pause in its development, any future release could be delayed.

Tweet by Tenobrus (reposted by Bogdan Ionut Cirstea) reacting positively to news that OpenAI is delaying release of its upcoming 'Astra' model, citing internal evaluations finding it 'cannot rule out critical cyber capabilities.' Quotes an Axios exclusive; OpenAI states Astra was not involved in the Hugging Face exploits referenced elsewhere in this batch (seq 437-438), and cites its 2023 preparedness framework as the basis for the pause.

i'm sorry, but leaving compaction on for a 40-hour autonomous cyber capabilities evaluation is asking for trouble

anyone who has worked on smaller scale evals ... [cut off]

Twitter exchange reacting with alarm to the methodological choice of leaving context 'compaction' enabled during a 40-hour autonomous cyber capabilities evaluation of an AI model, framed as a critique of eval design/methodology rather than a description of the capability findings themselves.

dave kasten ✅ @David_Kasten — 14m One thing that is genuinely surprising to me is that many folks who are indeed very smart DC national security folks really have not priced this in, even though they've fully updated on Mythos having significant cyber capabilities. (Source: conversations over the past several weeks) > QUOTED: prinz ✅ @deredleritt3r — 2h > If you think the USG's involvement with Anthropic and OpenAI models is bad now, just wait until the next generation of models trips up thresholds for bio and chemical risk.
