The BriefOpenAI said its next model, Astra, can find security holes nobody knew about and break in on its own, with no step-by-step help from a person. That is the first time OpenAI has rated one of its own models 'Critical' for cyber ability, the top step on its safety scale, and it plans to ship the model soon with the strongest hacking features locked to a small group of vetted partners. The same skill helps defenders too, so the practical move is to shorten the gap between a patch being published and you installing it, because that gap is now your whole exposure.

OpenAI's defensive versions of these models are already sitting on Amazon Bedrock for approved security teams, and the AWS writeup spells out what each one does and how to apply.
