OpenAI announced Daybreak Red Team and Daybreak Defense Factory on Nov. 12. Red Team is in early access and uses agents, with Guardian review, to test web apps, confirm vulnerabilities, and check patches. Defense Factory drafts patches that engineers review before merge. SecurityWeek says it is a ChatGPT preview for existing Daybreak workspaces, and The Register says the agents currently use GPT-6 Cyber. No price was stated.

On Nov. 6, OpenAI said it is partnering with Hacktron to find vulnerabilities in OpenAI's systems. Engineers from both sides will choose the tests, focused on how those systems interact with third-party services, and OpenAI said it is expanding Hacktron's access to frontier models through Daybreak Red. The post gives no contract value and does not list the systems in scope.
On Nov. 5, 2026 OpenAI said it is introducing GPT-6 Cyber, initially through the API and Codex for a select group of approved Daybreak Red customers, with wider Daybreak Red access planned later. OpenAI rates the model Critical for cybersecurity under its Preparedness Framework, up from High for GPT-5.6 Cyber, and says it scored 48.5 percent on ExploitGym versus 32.1 percent for GPT-5.6 Cyber. OpenAI says the model found 81 novel Firefox flaws that Mozilla classified as high severity, with fixes beginning to land, and that it disclosed 304 critical Linux findings with candidate patches. Those counts and the Critical label are OpenAI's account.
On Oct. 30, 2026, Daybreak users posted an OpenAI email saying that from Nov. 29 the company may use personal-account Daybreak Blue sessions to improve models even when Improve the model for everyone is off. Copies that describe two changes also say individual API access to Daybreak Blue ends Nov. 20, while Codex access through a ChatGPT sign-in continues, and a follow-up quoted from a recipient promises a separate opt-out except for interactions flagged for safety review. OpenAI's data-controls page, read Nov. 1, still states the training exception and still gives no start date, opt-out, or API cutoff. The email says business and enterprise customers are not affected.

OpenAI's ChatGPT data-controls page, shown as updated about Oct. 30, 2026, says that during Daybreak Blue sessions on a personal account the company may use interaction content to improve its models even when Improve the model for everyone is off. It says the exception is meant to strengthen safeguards against cyber misuse, and that the training setting still applies outside a Trusted Access session. The page does not give a start date or describe a separate Daybreak opt-out. Business, Enterprise, Edu, Healthcare and API content remain excluded from training by default.
OpenAI said on Oct. 21 that a Calif researcher used GPT-5.6 Sol to identify a critical PHP flaw, while Wiz independently reported both vulnerabilities and says its Aug. 19 discovery also used Gemini 4 Argon. PHP released 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35 the same day for CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, which it says allow unauthenticated remote code execution, and said updating is the only complete fix. OpenAI says the bugs are among several it has found and that it has committed $1 billion in subsidized Daybreak access for frontline defenders.
Fortune, citing people familiar with the plans, reported on September 24, 2026 that OpenAI will preview GPT-6 Cyber within days and unveil an unnamed product to help customers deploy the model more securely and automatically. The model could appear at DevDay in San Francisco on September 29, with a launch expected in the coming months. A limited Daybreak Red cohort already has alpha access. Reuters said OpenAI did not immediately comment, and the report is not a public product release.
OpenAI for Government and the U.S. General Services Administration announced a multi-year agreement on September 10, 2026 that drops the ChatGPT license fee to $0 from $15 per user per month and cuts usage costs 50% for federal, state, local, and tribal governments. The deal runs 27 months from October 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028 and extends eligibility across a public-sector workforce of about 23 million. Every verified government entity will be approved for Daybreak Blue at 50% off commercial pricing.
OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra on September 3, 2026, rolling the flagship first to Daybreak cybersecurity customers and saying Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, API and AWS access would follow over the coming days. President Greg Brockman told reporters it is not unreasonable to feel the company is now in the AGI era, while OpenAI said Astra is its first model at the Critical cybersecurity threshold and will keep the most advanced offensive cyber tools limited to trusted defenders. The company framed the release as a generational leap in coding, computer use and science after delaying parts of development to add safeguards following the July Hugging Face incident.
OpenAI said on September 1, 2026 that its upcoming Astra model is the first to meet the Critical cybersecurity capability threshold under its Preparedness Framework, meaning it can find previously unknown security flaws and exploit them without step-by-step human guidance. The company said new safeguards sufficiently minimize the risk of severe harm for release, plans to make Astra available soon, and will initially restrict its most advanced cyber capabilities to testers and the Daybreak Blue defensive program after pausing parts of the model's development following last month's Hugging Face incident.
OpenAI split its Daybreak security program into two access tiers on August 10 and launched GPT-5.6-Cyber, a purpose-trained model available only through the more permissive Daybreak Red tier for authorized vulnerability research and exploit validation. The model completed 95% of requests in OpenAI's internal advanced cybersecurity evaluation, against 57.3% for GPT-5.5-Cyber and 1.5% for GPT-5.6 Sol under normal safeguards, and is the first OpenAI model to reach the High cyber capability threshold in its Preparedness Framework. Before launch it found two previously unknown Chrome V8 flaws, one patched by Google as CVE-2026-15903, and OpenAI is making hardware security keys mandatory on all individual Daybreak accounts from September 1.

OpenAI's prior frontier large-language-model family. GPT-5.5 (April 2026) was the broadly available flagship, built for agentic coding, computer use, and knowledge work. GPT-5.6 - variants Sol, Terra and Luna - opened to the public on July 9, 2026 after an initial government-gated preview. GPT-6 Astra, launched September 3, 2026, is now the new flagship (see that product).
OpenAI's current flagship model, launched September 3, 2026. OpenAI calls it a generational leap for coding, computer use, science and cybersecurity, and the first model it has designated Critical for cybersecurity under its Preparedness Framework - meaning it can find previously unknown security flaws and exploit them without step-by-step human guidance. President Greg Brockman told reporters it is not unreasonable to feel the company is now in the AGI era.
