OpenAI launches GPT-6 Cyber for exploit development, raises prices

OpenAI has launched GPT-6 Cyber, a specialized AI model for cybersecurity tasks like vulnerability research and exploit development. The model reportedly achieved a 48.5% score on OpenAI's ExploitGym benchmark, significantly outperforming its predecessor, GPT-5.6 Cyber. OpenAI claims GPT-6 Cyber was used to reproduce numerous Linux kernel vulnerabilities and identify high-severity Firefox issues, aiming to justify its premium pricing and restricted access for authorized users. AI

IMPACT This specialized model could accelerate exploit development and validation for security teams, potentially shifting the market towards more aggressive AI-driven cybersecurity tools.
