Ep 832: OpenAI’s new Astra model, more AI agents escape sandboxes, AI leaders call for AI pacing and more.

OpenAI has a new model coming soon called Astra. Was it a leak? A reddit post? Some backdoor update? Nope, OpenAI made some crazy discoveries and math then told the world that their next model family Astra did the heavy lifting. (And you thought you could just click ‘Sol’ and your strategy was set for Q3?) Aside from news on what’s next from OpenAI, this week saw multiple new agent outbreaks, AI competitors banning together to pace AI, Amazon doing a 180 on its AI strategy and a lot more. Don’t get left behind. We’ll keep you ahead. OpenAI’s new Astra model, more AI agents escape sandboxes, AI leaders call for AI pacing and more.
