OpenAI<\/a> has launched GPT-6, a cybersecurity AI model that delivers “major gains” on key cybersecurity benchmarks over its predecessor, GPT-5.6 Cyber. <\/p>\n

In an introductory blog post<\/a> published on Thursday, OpenAI said that GPT-6 Cyber delivers a 51% improvement over GPT-5.6 Cyber on the ExploitGym cybersecurity benchmark. <\/p>\n

GPT-6 Cyber is “already helping to secure real-world software, uncovering and validating thousands of exploits in security-critical codebases such as Linux and Firefox,” said the post. <\/p>\n

The news comes days after it was revealed that OpenAI’s upcoming model (now confirmed to be GPT-6 Cyber by OpenAI) had\u00a0found and patched<\/a>\u00a0948 local privilege-escalation vulnerabilities in Linux. The model was also used to identify 81 previously unknown “high-severity” vulnerabilities in Firefox, “despite extensive prior testing with frontier models.”<\/p>\n

If this all sounds a little dangerous to be available to just anyone, you’re right. This is why access to GPT-6 Cyber is part of Daybreak<\/a>, OpenAI’s cybersecurity program, which is only available to verified individuals and organizations. <\/p>\n

In its blog post, however, OpenAI said its goal is to “dramatically” expand Daybreak, and bring “advanced security research to organizations of every size, independent researchers, and open-source maintainers.”<\/p>\n

Initially, GPT-6 Cyber is only available to a “select group” of approved Daybreak Red customers (Daybreak access is divided into two tiers: Daybreak Blue is for defensive work, while Daybreak Red is for advanced penetration testing and security research). Access will be progressively expanded to all Daybreak Red customers “soon.”<\/p>\n
