OpenAI has introduced GPT-6 Cyber, a version of GPT-6 Astra trained to find software vulnerabilities, test how attackers could exploit them, and help develop fixes. The model is designed for authorized security testing of websites and applications. OpenAI used GPT-6 Cyber to help secure its systems, including the infrastructure used to train its AI models. In controlled security tests, agents using GPT-6 Cyber and other OpenAI models combined vulnerabilities to escape isolated virtual environments and run code on the host computers. The company said it used the findings to patch software, tighten network restrictions, and report issues to maintainers and vendors. OpenAI researchers also used the model to identify 81 previously unknown Firefox vulnerabilities classified by Mozilla as high severity and develop working exploits for 948 Linux kernel vulnerabilities.
