OpenAI launches GPT-5.6-Cyber for vulnerability discovery · 8 sources tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [14 sources] ·

OpenAI has launched GPT-5.6-Cyber, a specialized AI model designed to assist cybersecurity defenders in identifying vulnerabilities. This new model demonstrates a significantly reduced refusal rate for high-risk cyber requests, answering up to 98.5% of queries that standard models would block. GPT-5.6-Cyber has already been instrumental in discovering previously unknown vulnerabilities in Google Chrome and is available through a gated program with different tiers for defensive and offensive tasks. AI

IMPACT This specialized model could accelerate the discovery of zero-day vulnerabilities and improve defensive cybersecurity capabilities.

RANK_REASON Frontier-lab model release with system card.
