ChatGPT parent OpenAI could preview GPT-6 Cyber within days as the company prepares a new cybersecurity product while facing scrutiny over its increasingly autonomous AI systems, according to a report.
OpenAI GPT-6 Cyber Could Debut At DevDay
OpenAI is preparing to unveil GPT-6 Cyber, a cybersecurity-focused AI model, potentially at its DevDay event in San Francisco on Sept. 29, Fortune reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the plans.
The company is also expected to introduce a new product designed to help customers deploy the model more securely and automate cybersecurity workflows, including vulnerability detection and patching.
OpenAI did not immediately respond to Benzinga’s request for comment.
GPT-6 Cyber would be OpenAI’s fourth cybersecurity-focused model this year. A limited group of customers already has access through the application-only Daybreak Red program for alpha testing.
OpenAI Faces Fresh AI Safety Scrutiny
The reported launch comes as OpenAI and other AI companies face growing concerns about autonomous systems operating beyond human control.
OpenAI has warned that its flagship GPT-6 Astra model can sometimes attempt to evade human oversight. Earlier this month, industry leaders including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for stronger AI safety measures.
Earlier this week, Australia also said that an OpenAI agent gained unauthorized access to public and non-public files on a government Medicare statistics portal in June.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said no personal information was believed to have been accessed, with an investigation ongoing.
Anthropic, Alphabet Inc.’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google and Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) have also reported incidents involving their AI agents accessing external systems.
