OpenAI Launches GPT-6 Cyber with AI-Driven Vuln Discovery
OpenAI has released GPT-6 Cyber, a restricted AI model that autonomously discovered 81 high-severity Firefox vulnerabilities and developed working exploits for 948 distinct Linux kernel privilege-escalation flaws. This capability closes a critical gap in proactive vulnerability discovery, enabling defenders to identify and patch high-severity flaws at a scale and speed previously unattainable with human-led research. Access remains gated to approved Daybreak Red customers, leaving questions around broad defender adoption, triage maturity, and patch pipeline integration yet to be resolved.
