   OpenAIs GPT-6 Cyber can both break into systems and propose how to fix them

   OpenAI introduced GPT-6 Cyber, a model trained to find software vulnerabilities, build working exploits, and suggest patches, which it says stayed within its guardrails in 99.93 percent of cases without safety instructions and 100 percent with them. OpenAI reports the model found 81 previously unknown severe vulnerabilities in Firefox and reproduced 1,724 Linux kernel vulnerabilities with 948 working exploits, at a compute cost of $1,213,430. Access is initially limited to select Daybreak Red customers via the API and Codex, and all benchmark numbers come from OpenAI with no independent testing published so far.

   OpenAI released a new cybersecurity model. Is that enough?

   Charge Robotics CTO Max Justicz used OpenAI's GPT 5.6 Sol via the Daybreak Blue program to find a severe Ubuntu vulnerability in about two hours, which he reported to the Debian Project and which was patched with no known exploitation. OpenAI announced ChatGPT Cyber for the top tier of its Daybreak Red offensive-security program, after saying the same model was used to scan the Linux kernel (finding 948 potential issues) and Firefox (81 "novel" vulnerabilities), alongside a $1 billion initiative for critical-infrastructure defenders. The article notes Justicz spent about $5,000 on subscriptions and tokens, that he says Daybreak Blue was recently "nerfed," and that OpenAI says only "thousands" of cybersecurity professionals participate in Daybreak.

   OpenAI says its new cybersecurity model is better at not hacking other companies

   OpenAI is launching GPT-6 Cyber, a cybersecurity AI model it says is better at finding vulnerabilities and less likely to go out of bounds, which happened less than 1 percent of the time in testing versus around 5 percent with GPT-5.6 Cyber on an evaluation called ExploitGym HoneyPot. GPT-6 Cyber is classified as Critical on OpenAI's Preparedness Framework, scored 48.5 percent on the ExploitGym benchmark (above GPT-5.6 Cyber's 32.1 percent and GPT-6 Astra's 42.4 percent), and helped find 81 previously unknown vulnerabilities in Firefox. It is rolling out to select members of OpenAI's Daybreak Red program, with expansion to all Daybreak Red customers in the coming weeks.
