you, Ed.
I appreciate that.
Um yeah, I s I've been spending a lot of time at OpenAI and with Sam, and we covered a lot of ground in the conversation.
Um a couple things stood out.
They are really slowing down frontier research in a way that is unprecedented in the industry, speaks to the capabilities they're seeing that have not yet been released.
They have Astra, their next family of models coming, which I've gotten to see as part of my reporting process for the time cover story you were talking about.
Um, but no one externally has used yet.
And uh what they saw, and I was actually in
The office as this was happening was uh even further frontier training runs that they have after Astra were showing, as Sam put it to me, uh, you know, various degrees of misalignment, uh, which is AI speak for the AI is not doing what it's supposed to.
And you see that with Hugging Face, right?
The hack on Hugging Face that everyone knows about.
But I think it speaks to as these models become more.
Agentic doing things in browsers, taking over computers, the security risks go way up.
And OpenAI's research team decided, uh, which that company is still very much a research culture led company, even with all the commercial stuff that we'll get into.
Uh, that team has pushed them to slow down, and they are.
That said, they're also in this fierce model race.
They want to get astral.
It's gonna be a very powerful, capable model.
And then we touched on a bunch of stuff.
We touched on recent leadership departures.
