The system card said Astra is more robust to jailbreaks and prompt injections than GPT-5.6 Sol, but noted it is also better at controlling its own chain of thought and could evade monitors under adversarial conditions.

MICROSOFT AI'S MAI-TRANSCRIBE-2 UNDERCUTS OPENAI, GOOGLE, AND ELEVENLABS ON PRICE AND SPEED

MAI-Transcribe-2 is a speech-recognition model that Microsoft says is faster, more accurate, and cheaper than anything its competitors currently sell. It is priced at 10 cents per hour of audio. The model transcribes audio in 60 languages. Microsoft's strategy seems to be to build its own frontier-class models one modality at a time, then steadily swap them into products that once ran on OpenAI's technology.
