OpenAI's Astra Model Achieves Critical Cybersecurity Threshold and Integrates ChatGPT Health with Epic's EHR System

OpenAI's Astra model has reportedly crossed the Preparedness Framework's critical cybersecurity threshold, demonstrating advanced offensive capabilities by autonomously finding and exploiting zero-days in modified tests. This model will see a limited release, with its strongest cyber capabilities gated to selected partners. Concurrently, OpenAI has integrated ChatGPT Health with Epic, a widely used electronic health record (EHR) system, providing clinicians read-only access to patient data for summarization and information retrieval, impacting over 325 million patients.
