OpenAI Launches Patch the Planet Cybersecurity Initiative

OpenAI expanded its Daybreak cybersecurity program with Patch the Planet, an open-source patching initiative co-founded with Trail of Bits and HackerOne. Over 30 projects including cURL, Python, and Go have joined, with human engineers reviewing all AI-generated findings before they reach maintainers. The full GPT-5.5-Cyber model also launched, scoring 85.6% on the CyberGym benchmark. OpenAI says the new bottleneck in security is patching, not vulnerability discovery. Notable findings include a 23-year-old OpenBSD kernel flaw and Firefox WebAssembly bugs patched before Pwn2Own Berlin. Launch partners for the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program include Cisco, CrowdStrike, IBM, and Palo Alto Networks.
