OpenAI hands vetted security firms a model that answers 95% of hacking prompts

On Monday, OpenAI split its Daybreak cyber-defense program into Blue and Red tiers and delivered GPT-5.6-Cyber. The company passed the hacking model to a handful of vetted security firms that are trying to beat AI attacks.

Earlier this year, OpenAI launched Daybreak to give unreleased frontier models to private organizations and governments for defensive work.

The program now splits customers into two, Blue and Red. Blue is powered by GPT-5.6 Sol, the company’s general purpose frontier model, with production guardrails that normally filter security prompts removed.

Daybreak splits into Blue and Red lanes

OpenAI calls it the “recommended starting point for most defenders.” The Blue tier performs vulnerability discovery, secure code review, malware analysis, incident response, and patch validation.

Red provides access to purpose-built cybersecurity models for authorized vulnerability research, exploit validation, and security testing. This is the only tier where GPT-5.6-Cyber exists.

OpenAI said Red customers will be closely monitored and supervised for usage because the model is much more capable of malicious cyber tasks than Sol.
