The last known exploit of a third-party by OpenAI models was on the 29th of July 2026 [0]. A bit over a month at best between that and them wanting to release Astra. They had multiple breaches over multiple months, multiple message board created where models organised extensively. There is no way to ensure in that short a time that all found issues are rectified and even if there were, how much trust can one have given they failed to solve the issue and in many cases did not actively investigate that it wouldn't reoccur the last few times. There is no way Astra was trained from scratch in that period, there is no way they could have done the required verification in that time (not least because their verification seems flawed inherently).

That was over two months ago. Things move quickly in this space. Finetuning adjustments to prevent this from happening, as well as better sandboxing, would take a week or two max.
