OpenAI says GPT-6 Astra can find zero-days, but is also harder to monitor

OpenAI announced that GPT-6 Astra has achieved a 'Critical level' designation for cybersecurity capabilities, becoming the first broadly deployed model to reach that threshold. The company acknowledged the model can identify zero-day vulnerabilities while noting increased difficulty in monitoring its behavior.

Why it matters: Security teams evaluating large language model (LLM) risk and access controls must understand that advanced models can now discover unknown vulnerabilities, creating both offensive capability and monitoring challenges that require updated governance frameworks.
