OpenAI Limits Astra Release as Anthropic Cuts AI Interventions by 85% Ahead of IPOs

Summary
OpenAI said Astra will be released broadly soon, but its strongest cybersecurity capabilities will stay restricted to trusted testers after the model hit a “critical” cyber-risk threshold.
Astra’s safeguards may also wrongly flag legitimate activity as misuse, potentially slowing, pausing or stopping user tasks as OpenAI leans into a more cautious safety posture.
Anthropic, by contrast, rolled out updated Fable and Mythos models aimed at commercial complaints, saying biology-related interventions will fall 85% and some cybersecurity interventions about 60% per session.
The update also adds monitoring for enterprise safety without storing customer data, addressing earlier data-sharing concerns and reducing refusals of legitimate prompts.
Both companies are calibrating product messaging for potential blockbuster IPOs, with Anthropic able to file a public prospectus as soon as next week while OpenAI remains earlier in the process.
