OpenAI releases GPT-5.5-Cyber preview to vetted cybersecurity teams. This specialized GPT-5.5 variant permits security tasks like vulnerability identification, patch validation, and malware analysis that standard safeguards block. It enables select partners to test advanced workflows. The launch follows Anthropic's restricted Claude Mythos Preview amid U.S. government discussions.

OpenAI announced Thursday that GPT-5.5-Cyber, a specialized variation of its latest AI model, is now available in limited preview to vetted cybersecurity teams.

The model is not positioned as a major advance in raw cyber capability. Instead, OpenAI said it was trained to be more permissive on security-related tasks than the generally available GPT-5.5 version released late last month.

Vetted teams can use the preview for workflows including vulnerability identification and triage, patch validation, and malware analysis. The standard safeguards in GPT-5.5 would have restricted these activities, the company noted.

"GPT-5.5-Cyber lets a smaller set of partners study advanced workflows where specialized access behavior may matter," OpenAI stated in its blog post.

The move comes one month after Anthropic launched Claude Mythos Preview and restricted access to a select group of companies under its Project Glasswing cybersecurity initiative.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei met with senior Trump administration officials to discuss Mythos after the company had been blacklisted by the Pentagon weeks earlier. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also met with major U.S. bank CEOs about the model, while Vice President JD Vance and Bessent held a call with leading tech CEOs ahead of its release.
