OpenAI announced a flurry of cybersecurity-related AI news on Monday, releasing an improved version of GPT\u20115.5\u2011Cyber, its most advanced vulnerability-finding model, along with an expanded partner program for cybersecurity vendors, an update to its Codex Security scanner\u2060, and an initiative to \u201cPatch the Planet\u201d \u2013 or at least 30 high-profile open source projects.<\/p>\n

The announcements come as Anthropic\u2019s Mythos mess keeps getting more complicated, with national security concerns clouding defenders\u2019 abilities to use that AI company\u2019s most advanced models to find and fix vulnerabilities \u2013 or perhaps it\u2019s just politics as usual.<\/p>\n

They also coincide with a general feeling of FUD around AI cyberattacks and the impending vulnpocalype. The Reg\u2019s vultures will keep out collective eyes on all of this.<\/p>\n

First off: GPT\u20115.5\u2011Cyber. After releasing a preview version of the model to a select group of \u201ctrusted defenders,\u201d OpenAI on Monday released an update that it says makes the model even better at finding \u2013 and also fixing \u2013 bugs in code.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our strongest model yet for finding and helping patch software vulnerabilities, while retaining GPT\u20115.5\u2019s general-purpose intelligence and ability to work across long, complex tasks,\u201d the AI shop said. \u201cThe model can sustain deeper analysis across large codebases: identifying security-relevant components, tracing whether vulnerable code is reachable, validating likely issues in controlled environments, developing and testing patches, and preparing evidence for human review.\u201d<\/p>\n

OpenAI said it evaluated the update and 5.5 preview using a few different benchmarks: CyberGym, which test how well AI systems can reproduce known vulnerabilities; ExploitGym, which determines how well models can turn known vulnerabilities into working exploits that achieve unauthorized code execution; and SEC-bench Pro, which measures AI systems\u2019 long-horizon vulnerability discovery and proof-of-concept…<\/p>\n
