first_img OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra, calling it the arrival of the AGI era

OpenAI officially released GPT-6 Astra on Thursday, with President Greg Brockman calling it a "generational leap in capability" during the press conference, and believing that the model has reached the standard of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), meaning that artificial intelligence can match or exceed human capabilities. Brockman stated, "Welcome to the era of AGI." If this judgment holds, it means AI entities will be closer to performing reasoning tasks in various complex tasks that humans can do, and even more.GPT-6 Astra is OpenAI's first model to cross the "critical" threshold under its internal danger capability scoring system, the Preparedness Framework, which means it can independently discover previously unknown software vulnerabilities (i.e., zero-day vulnerabilities) without gradual human supervision and chain them into attacks that can run in hardened systems. In testing, the model achieved a score of 100% on the ExploitBench benchmark; to rule out inflated scores due to memory answers, OpenAI conducted a second test using 20 recent vulnerabilities from the Google V8 JavaScript engine. Astra not only surpassed the previous generation GPT-5.6 Sol but also discovered and chained two previously unknown zero-day vulnerabilities, which are still being disclosed to the affected parties.Due to its high autonomy, the monitoring difficulty of Astra has also increased. OpenAI acknowledges that in tests assessing its ability to evade supervision, the model is more difficult to track than previous systems.

first_img Thailand's SEC proposes allowing retail investors to trade regulated overseas crypto derivatives

The Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand (SEC) has proposed allowing intermediaries to provide certain digital asset derivatives traded overseas to retail investors. According to the proposal, eligible products must be similar to crypto derivatives traded domestically in Thailand, including aspects such as underlying assets, duration, leverage, and settlement methods. At the same time, these products must be traded on exchanges that adopt central counterparty clearing and are supervised by regulatory bodies belonging to specific international regulatory or exchange organizations.Crypto derivatives that do not meet the above conditions will only be available to institutional investors. The Thai SEC stated that institutional investors are better equipped to assess and manage complex and high-risk products. Current rules only allow intermediaries to provide relevant investment services to retail and high-net-worth clients when overseas derivatives are similar to domestic trading products, while overseas crypto derivatives, due to their varying structures and risk levels, require targeted regulations.This consultation is the latest initiative by Thailand to incorporate crypto-related products into the regulated capital market. The Thai SEC officially designated cryptocurrencies and digital tokens as permissible derivative underlying assets in a notice issued on March 5 and is discussing potential contract specifications with the Thailand Futures Exchange. The consultation will continue until September 30, and the Thai SEC has not yet announced the proposed implementation date for the revisions.

first_img Polygon has fixed security vulnerabilities through two hard forks, which were previously deployed privately

Polygon Labs disclosed that it has fixed a batch of security vulnerabilities in its proof-of-stake network through two hard forks, with the related fixes privately deployed before public disclosure. According to a forum post released on Wednesday, the team packaged the fixes into the Austin hard fork of the Bor client and the Kyoto hard fork of the Heimdall client, both of which followed the standard process for fixing issues that affect consensus: first validated on the Amoy testnet, and then publicly disclosed once the mainnet was activated and the network was secure.The Austin fork fixed two denial-of-service paths in block processing, including a vulnerability where malicious block producers could crash peer nodes by filling them with oversized field data. The Kyoto fork addressed a broader range of consensus hardening issues, with the most severe vulnerability allowing an attacker to force the entire validator set to perform costly and coordinated work with just one crafted transaction—the cost of constructing the transaction is low, but the network processing cost is high. Polygon emphasized that none of the vulnerabilities were observed to be exploited on the mainnet and have been proactively addressed. The two upgrades are now mandatory for node operators and have taken effect without the need for state migration or resynchronization.This disclosure comes at a critical transformation period for Polygon, which has completed the migration of the traditional MATIC token to POL as part of a comprehensive overhaul of its network architecture. The news did not boost the price of POL; according to CoinGecko data, POL traded at approximately $0.09983 on Sunday, down 2.3% in 24 hours, down about 6.8% over the past week, and down about 60.8% over the past year, with a market capitalization of approximately $1.07 billion.
