Brockman says Astra was OpenAI's first training run on more than 100,000 GPUs.

In a September 4 Stratechery interview, the OpenAI president gave the first specific compute figure and called it "our most aligned model yet." He framed computer use as the real break from the connector era because the model drives software with no API. Pressed on why security hardening lagged before the Hugging Face incident, he conceded the field's instinct is to restrict access massively rather than defend proactively (Stratechery).
