OpenAI has announced the launch of GPT-5.6-Cyber, a new model designed to tackle more complex cybersecurity tasks with fewer restrictions compared to GPT-5.6 Sol.

GPT-5.6-Cyber is designed to identify and address vulnerabilities, aiming to provide support for authorized operators in the field of cybersecurity.

Additionally, OpenAI has expanded the Daybreak program, focusing on accelerating cybersecurity defense as companies and governments increase investments against AI-driven automated attacks.

The launch of this model comes at a critical time, as recent developments, such as the Hugging Face case, have brought attention to the challenges of cybersecurity.
