OpenAI on Monday said it is expanding Daybreak, its exclusive cybersecurity initiative, to help give its participants access to the "right capabilities" that they need to help defend themselves from attackers.
OpenAI said Monday that it is expanding the program to include two different access tiers: Daybreak Blue and Daybreak Red.
The expansion follows a number of cybersecurity incidents that AI developers —including OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta — have disclosed in recent weeks.
In each case, an AI model accessed systems that should have been off limits as part of cybersecurity testing, prompting industry researchers and government officials to call for stronger protections.
Daybreak Red participants will be able to go a step further, leveraging OpenAI's "purpose-trained cybersecurity models" for security testing, vulnerability research and exploit validation.
