What was said

"as now as we're talking OpenAI have said that Astra is the first model to have hit critical on their cyber security thing. They've just put out a blog post on it."

Immad Mustach says OpenAI has posted that its Astra model reached a ‘critical’ level on the company’s cybersecurity preparedness framework, implying heightened offensive capability. The panel links this to concerns about swarm attacks and difficulties detecting where smaller open models are running.
