OpenAI introduced GPT-6 Cyber on November 5. The company says the tool helps security researchers find weaknesses in software.

Researchers can use it to test whether a weakness allows an attack. This work must stay within the systems they have permission to test.

Access is restricted. Users must prove who they are and meet security requirements. The tool is not available to everyone.
