Summary

OpenAI expanded Daybreak with a full release of GPT-5.5-Cyber and updated Codex Security, widening AI-assisted patch automation for verified defenders. The rollout matters because it pairs stronger authorized-security capability with tighter access controls around dual-use offensive potential. Patch the Planet extends the effort into open-source software by funding maintainers and researchers to ship fixes faster. OpenAI also opened a partner program for security vendors and said it will work with governments and critical infrastructure operators.
