OpenAI is expanding its Daybreak cybersecurity initiative to Korea's public and private sectors, a move that stands in contrast to Anthropic's stringent standards for access to its Glasswing program to foreign countries.

OpenAI will open its Government Trusted Access for Cyber program — designed for government agencies and institutions — to Korea, signing on along with Japan to become one of four user countries, along with the United States and Canada. Participants gain access to OpenAI's latest high-performance AI models.

"We are pretty close to finalizing access for Korean government personnel," said Jason Kwon, the chief strategy officer at OpenAI, at a press event held in southern Seoul on Wednesday. "I think they will need to gain access and use the tools, and we expect them to produce results fairly quickly."
