OpenAI releases GPT-6 Cyber, and promises this one stays within 'rules of engagement'

What happened: OpenAI released GPT-6 Cyber, a cybersecurity-tuned model it says combines stronger capabilities with better adherence to researchers' rules of engagement. Why it matters: The "Critical" classification means the model can identify and develop functional zero-day exploits and execute end-to-end cyberattacks, so OpenAI is restricting access to customers authorized for offensive security work and plans to widen access over the coming weeks.
