Qué ocurrió
OpenAI released GPT‑6 Cyber, a model trained to locate software vulnerabilities, simulate attacks, and suggest fixes. In controlled tests the model uncovered 81 high‑severity Firefox vulnerabilities and crafted exploits for 948 Linux‑kernel bugs, including a critical Brotli RCE. OpenAI applied the insights to harden its own infrastructure, reported the issues to Mozilla and other maintainers, and worked with Dragos to evaluate the model against a mock power‑plant environment where it found two zero‑day engineering‑software flaws. All activities were performed under strict authorization with sandboxing, human‑in‑the‑loop review, and safety‑processing safeguards.
