OpenAI has built an LLM super-hacker called GPT-Red that it uses as a sparring partner to help its other models boost their defenses against cyberattacks.
OpenAI has built an LLM super-hacker called GPT-Red that it uses as a sparring partner to help its other models boost their defenses against cyberattacks.
The short version
- Last week the company released the latest version of its flagship LLM, GPT-5.6.
- OpenAI says that training it against GPT-Red made the model its most robust release yet.
- Exclusive: The firm says it wants to future-proof its safety procedures and stay ahead of human attackers.
What happened
GPT-Red automates a type of safety evaluation for software systems known as red-teaming, which is typically done by a team of human testers. The aim is to find as many different ways to break or hijack a system as possible.
Why it matters
The weak spots can then be patched before the final version of the software is released.
