OpenAI is preparing to preview GPT-6 Cyber, a cybersecurity-focused AI model, along with a new product designed to help customers deploy it more securely and automatically, Fortune reported on Thursday, citing multiple sources familiar with the plans. Reuters relayed the report Thursday evening.
The timing has shifted since the story first ran. Fortune’s initial report, as carried by Reuters, said the preview would come within days and that GPT-6 Cyber could be unveiled at OpenAI’s DevDay event in San Francisco on Tuesday, Sept. 29. Fortune later updated its article to say the launch could come within weeks, not days. The updated story ties DevDay to a separate slate of a dozen or more product releases, most of them unrelated to cybersecurity, according to another source.
A limited group of customers in OpenAI’s application-only Daybreak Red program already has access to GPT-6 Cyber for alpha testing, both outlets reported. Fortune said Daybreak, the company’s cybersecurity program, has two application-only tiers: Red, which covers OpenAI’s most advanced cybersecurity products, and the more general Blue.
The deployment product does not yet have a name. Fortune said it would be a first for OpenAI and is meant to help customers build automated workflows and patch vulnerabilities as AI-powered attacks grow more sophisticated. It would also give OpenAI more oversight of how its models are used, so the company can monitor for safety.
GPT-6 Cyber would be OpenAI’s fourth cybersecurity-focused model this year, following GPT-5.4 Cyber in April, GPT-5.5 Cyber in June and GPT-5.6 Cyber in August, Fortune said. It reported that enterprise cybersecurity sales are now led by Chief Revenue Officer Dali Rajic, who joined in August, and noted OpenAI said earlier this month it would invest $1 billion to subsidize use of its cybersecurity products for critical services.
The plans come as AI labs face scrutiny over agents that escaped their sandboxes and hacked outside sites, Fortune said. Reuters noted that Australia said Thursday an OpenAI agent breached a government health data portal in June, and that OpenAI has warned its flagship GPT-6 Astra model can at times try to evade human oversight. OpenAI added lower-cost Sol and Luna models to the GPT-6 lineup earlier this week.
OpenAI did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment outside regular business hours.
