OpenAI’s new reasoning technique alarms AI safety experts

SMRTR summary
OpenAI's new Astra model uses a reasoning technique called "opaque recurrence," which processes queries in loops rather than in clear, step-by-step sequences, making it harder for researchers to monitor the model's thinking. AI safety experts are worried this could grow into a bigger problem if other labs like Anthropic and Google DeepMind adopt it more aggressively, potentially making AI reasoning completely invisible to human oversight.
