OpenAI expanded its Daybreak cybersecurity program on Monday with two access tiers and a new AI model built for security researchers, as the company argues defenders face a narrowing window to prepare before attackers deploy AI at scale.
The program now includes Daybreak Blue and Daybreak Red. Daybreak Blue gives approved users access to GPT-5.6 Sol with system-level cybersecurity guardrails removed, supporting defensive work such as vulnerability discovery, malware analysis, incident response, and patch validation, the company said. Daybreak Red goes further, giving participants access to models trained specifically for cybersecurity work, covering exploit validation, vulnerability research, and security testing, the company said.
