OpenAI launches GPT-6 Cyber with 'Critical' cybersecurity rating
The model is meant to help security researchers find vulnerabilities, test how they could be exploited and fix flaws before attackers do, OpenAI said
OpenAI has launched GPT-6 Cyber, a cybersecurity-focused model designed to detect and exploit security vulnerabilities. The new model is being rolled out to a select group of vetted customers as a "Critical" rated solution under OpenAI's safety framework. The company's researchers utilized GPT-6 Cyber to uncover 81 previously unknown Firefox vulnerabilities, which Mozilla has since addressed.
Additionally, GPT-6 Cyber assisted in developing working exploits for 948 Linux kernel vulnerabilities, with 588 being previously unknown discoveries. OpenAI has also shared 304 critical Linux findings with maintainers and proposed patches. This heightened cybersecurity classification marks an increase from "High" for the previous GPT-5.6 Cyber model.
OpenAI anticipates an IPO by 2027, with a significant portion of their sales now coming from enterprise clients. As cyber threats continue to rise, GPT-6 Cyber aims to assist security researchers in identifying vulnerabilities and helping to fix them before malicious actors can exploit them. The model is currently available to Daybreak Red, OpenAI's tier for advanced authorized security work such as penetration testing and exploit development.
Access to GPT-6 Cyber will be extended to all approved Daybreak Red customers over the coming weeks.
