The preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber is not intended to be a major step up in terms of cyber capability, but is instead trained to be more permissive on security-related tasks, OpenAI said in a blog post. OpenAI announced GPT-5.5<\/a> late last month.<\/p>\n With the cyber-specific version, vetted teams will have an easier time using OpenAI’s latest model for workflows like vulnerability identification and triage, patch validation and malware analysis, the company said. The safeguards built into the generally available GPT-5.5 model would have made that more challenging. <\/p>\n “GPT\u20115.5\u2011Cyber lets a smaller set of partners study advanced workflows where specialized access behavior may matter,” OpenAI said in the blog post.<\/p>\n In rolling out Mythos last month, Anthropic decided to limit access to a select group of companies as part of a new cybersecurity initiative called Project Glasswing. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei met with senior members of the Trump administration<\/a> to talk about the model and its potential power, even after the company had been blacklisted by the Pentagon<\/a> just weeks earlier. <\/p>\n Federal Reserve Chairman\u00a0Jerome Powell<\/a>\u00a0and Treasury Secretary\u00a0Scott Bessent<\/a>\u00a0met with major U.S. bank CEOs to discuss Mythos last month, and Vice President JD Vance and Bessent held a call with leading tech CEOs ahead of the model’s release.<\/p>\n WATCH: Federal agencies seek access to Mythos prompting Anthropic CEO meeting with White House<\/a><\/p>\n
