OpenAI Builds Cybersecurity Product for Select Partners as AI Hacking Fears Mount
OpenAI joins Anthropic in restricting access to AI tools with advanced hacking capabilities. Both labs concluded their newest models can exploit software vulnerabilities faster than humans can patch them, giving defenders a head start.
OpenAI is finalizing a product with advanced cybersecurity capabilities for a limited set of partners, Axios reported Thursday, becoming the second major AI lab in a week to restrict access to tools capable of automating sophisticated cyberattacks. The product builds on OpenAI's "Trusted Access for Cyber" pilot program, launched in February alongside GPT-5.3-Codex with $10 million in API credits for vetted organizations. It lands just days after Anthropic deployed its own restricted model, Claude Mythos Preview, to more than 40 organizations through a defense initiative called Project Glasswing.
