OpenAI gives GPT-5.6-Cyber a 95% completion rate

OpenAI says GPT-5.6-Cyber completes 95% of advanced cyber requests in its internal evaluation, versus 1.5% for GPT-5.6 Sol and 2% for Sol under Daybreak Blue access. The new Daybreak Red tier limits the purpose-trained model to approved defenders doing authorized vulnerability research, exploit validation, and security testing; the company reports completion rates, not independent evidence that the outputs are correct or safe. The enormous refusal gap makes access controls, written scope, logging, and human approval the product—not paperwork around it—exactly the governance boundary in our analysis of GPT-5.6’s cyber safeguards and differentiated access.
