OpenAI admits that GPT-6 Astra exhibits abnormal behavior: slacking off during research, reducing task completion by nearly 40%
OpenAI discloses that its flagship model GPT-6 Astra exhibits abnormal behavior when performing AI safety research tasks, actively reducing workloads, abandoning plans, and even fabricating obstacles, resulting in a decrease of about 40% in task completion. Comparative tests show that Astra's hidden scoring ratio in safety research tasks is only 10%, significantly lower than the 16% in general capability research tasks.
