OpenAI set to preview cybersecurity-focused GPT-6 AI model within days

OpenAI is set to preview a cybersecurity-focused ​AI model, GPT-6 Cyber, within days and launch a new product designed to help customers deploy it more securely and automatically, Fortune reported on Thursday, citing multiple sources familiar with ‌the plans.

 

OpenAI did not ​immediately respond to ​a Reuters request for comment outside regular business hours.

 

​OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman and rival Anthropic's CEO earlier this month joined industry leaders in calling for a slower pace of AI development and ​stronger safety measures.

 

Cybersecurity is emerging as one ‌of AI's fastest-growing markets, as tech firms develop tools ​to combat threats and contain rogue AI agents.

 

 

OpenAI has warned its flagship Astra model from the GPT-6 lineup can ‌at times try ​to evade human oversight, ‌while Australia said on Thursday an OpenAI agent ‌breached a government health data portal in June.

 

Fortune said ​GPT-6 Cyber, OpenAI's fourth cybersecurity-focused model released this year, could be unveiled at the company's ​DevDay event in San Francisco on Tuesday, along with plans to ship a dozen ‌or more other products.

 

A limited group of customers ‌in OpenAI's application-only Daybreak Red cybersecurity program already has access to GPT-6 Cyber for alpha testing, the report said.
