As AI-led attacks multiply, OpenAI launches a new cyber model
OpenAI is expanding its AI cybersecurity defense program Daybreak, and rolling out a new cyber-trained AI model with it.
OpenAI is expanding its AI cybersecurity defense program Daybreak, and rolling out a new cyber-trained AI model with it.
The new model will be used by a small number of high-profile companies to engage in defensive cybersecurity work.
Anthropic said this week that it limited the release of its newest model, dubbed Mythos, because it is too capable of finding security exploits in software relied upon by users around the world. Are real cybersecurity concerns a cover for a bigger problem at the frontier lab?
The report is particularly surprising since the Department of Defense recently declared Anthropic a supply-chain risk.
In an interview at the Semafor World Economy summit this week, Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark explained why the company was still engaged with the U.S. government while simultaneously suing them.
NSA is said to be using Anthropic’s restricted Mythos AI model.
This week, during a podcast appearance, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called out his competitor’s new cybersecurity model, noting that the company was using fear to make its product sound more impressive than it actually is.
Anthropic told TechCrunch it is investigating the claims, but maintains that there is no evidence that its systems have been impacted.
OpenAI will begin rolling out its cybersecurity testing tool, GPT-5.5 Cyber only “to critical cyber defenders” at first.
Security researchers at Mozilla say Anthropic’s Mythos has unearthed a wealth of high-severity bugs in Firefox.
