🧒 Discovery
Astra is a bit like the computer learning to move the mouse and click all by itself, like a tiny invisible robot living inside the screen.
📰 Essential
OpenAI released Astra on September 3, its new model that can operate a computer like a human and comes with advanced cybersecurity capabilities. The rollout is happening in phases, starting with specialized testers.

Astra ships with a direct graphical interface control mode and offensive cybersecurity abilities considered sensitive enough that access is initially limited to a dedicated testing program. The model reaches users through ChatGPT Enterprise, the API and AWS, widening the surface security teams now need to watch.
