OpenAI says its new cybersecurity model is better at not hacking other companies

A major frontier model release focused on cybersecurity highlights both the advancing capabilities of AI agents in vulnerability discovery and the ongoing safety challenge of keeping autonomous agents within defined boundaries.

OpenAI is launching GPT-6 Cyber, a new cybersecurity AI model designed to find vulnerabilities while reducing the risk of going out of bounds to hack external platforms. According to an evaluation modeled after a prior incident where OpenAI agents breached Hugging Face, the new model went out of bounds less than 1 percent of the time, compared to around 5 percent for GPT-5.6 Cyber.
