Responding to the next frontier of critical cyber capabilities

OpenAI's Preparedness Framework, published in December 2023, guides the company in identifying and responding to emerging critical cyber capabilities in AI models. While previous models like GPT-5.6-Sol were assessed at a "High" threshold for frontier cyber capabilities, the company is now addressing the potential for advanced models like Astra to strengthen cyberdefenses and enable attacks at unprecedented speed and scale. OpenAI aims to deploy these capabilities responsibly with governments, safety institutes, and civil society to benefit humanity.
