OpenAI Launches GPT-6 Cyber: ExploitGym 48.5%, Out-of-Scope Rate Down to 0.07%, Daybreak Red Select Access, Critical Preparedness

On November 5 OpenAI launched GPT-6 Cyber for authorized security research: ExploitGym rose from GPT-5.6 Cyber's 32.1% to 48.5% (about 51% relative), out-of-scope exploitation fell to 0.07% without deployment prompts and 0% with them. The model helped find 81 novel high-severity Firefox bugs and develop exploits for 948 Linux privilege-escalation cases, and OpenAI raised its Preparedness Framework cyber rating from High to Critical. It is initially available via API and Codex to select Daybreak Red customers, with expansion to all Red customers planned.

OpenAI Launches GPT-6 Cyber: ExploitGym 48.5%, Out-of-Scope Rate Down to 0.07%, Daybreak Red Select Access, Critical Preparedness

Key Takeaways

  • ExploitGym 48.5% vs GPT-5.6 Cyber 32.1% (~51% relative gain; vendor figures)
  • Scope alignment: 99.93% avoided out-of-scope services without deployment prompts; 100% with them
  • Real-world: 81 novel high-severity Firefox vulns; 1,724 Linux vulns reproduced, 948 exploits developed
  • Preparedness raised to Critical; RemoteExploitBench 95% completion (Astra refused 100%)
  • Select Daybreak Red via API/Codex first; Daybreak Blue alpha for Astra defensive use expanding

OpenAI Daybreak Red (GPT-5.6 Cyber) arrives on Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US-East) for vetted defenders, at $16.875 input and $101.25 output per 1M tokens

On Oct 30, AWS announced that Daybreak Red (GPT-5.6 Cyber, model ID openai.gpt-5.6-cyber), the OpenAI security model built for vulnerability research, is now on Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US-East), after previously being offered only in US East (Ohio). Access still requires passing OpenAI Daybreak eligibility. GovCloud short-context pricing is $16.875 input and $101.25 output per 1M tokens, about 23% above Ohio at $13.75 and $82.50.

Key Takeaways

  • Regions: Daybreak Red can now be called In-Region in us-east-2 (Ohio) and us-gov-east-1 (GovCloud US-East); Geo and Global cross-Region inference are not supported (AWS announcement)
  • Eligibility: customers must first enroll in OpenAI Daybreak / Trusted Access for Cyber, then have their AWS account team enable access
  • Pricing: GovCloud short context (272K input tokens or fewer) is $16.875 input, $21.09375 for 30-minute cache writes, $1.6875 cache reads and $101.25 output per 1M tokens
  • Data: AWS says inference data is not used for training and Daybreak Red data does not need to be shared with OpenAI; it runs on an inference engine with zero-operator access enforced at the chip
  • API: served through the bedrock-mantle endpoint with OpenAI Responses and Chat Completions, and a 1,050,000-token context window
