OpenAI has launched GPT-6 Cyber, a specialized cybersecurity model that scored 48.5% on the ExploitGym benchmark, marking a 51% improvement over its predecessor, GPT-5.6 Cyber. The model successfully identified 81 new high-severity vulnerabilities in Mozilla's Firefox, prompting the company to initiate fixes. Additionally, GPT-6 Cyber maintained compliance with authorized testing boundaries in all evaluated cases when safety prompts were enabled.
The significance of GPT-6 Cyber lies in its enhanced capabilities to understand software vulnerabilities and develop effective exploits, earning it a Critical classification in cybersecurity under OpenAI's Preparedness Framework. This advancement reflects a shift from the previous High classification of GPT-5.6 Cyber. The model's performance in cybersecurity tasks also outstrips that of the general-purpose GPT-6 Astra, demonstrating its specialized utility in identifying and addressing security flaws.
OpenAI's GPT-6 Cyber is noted for its 40.3% recall rate in offensive web penetration testing, outperforming GPT-6 Astra's 32%. This new evaluation method allows the model to probe web applications without source code access, showcasing its ability to discover exploitable vulnerabilities through interaction with live services. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
