OpenAI will first release its cybersecurity-focused model GPT-5.5 Cyber to selected users, TechCrunch reported on April 30.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (샘 알트먼) said in a post on social media platform X (Twitter) that OpenAI would roll out GPT-5.5 Cyber over the next few days to “key cybersecurity stakeholders.”
OpenAI has set up an application process on its website that requires users to submit eligibility requirements and a usage plan.
GPT-5.5 Cyber can perform tasks such as penetration testing, vulnerability discovery and exploitation, and malware reverse engineering. It is designed as a toolkit for companies to find security weaknesses and verify defenses. There are also concerns it could be misused for malicious purposes.
Altman previously criticised Anthropic’s limited release of Mythos as “fear marketing.” Some critics also said Anthropic’s approach was exaggerated. But OpenAI ultimately chose the same approach as Anthropic, TechCrunch reported.
OpenAI said it plans to expand access to GPT-5.5 Cyber after consulting the U.S. government and identifying additional users with legitimate cybersecurity credentials.
