Summary
OpenAI is launching GPT-5.5-Cyber, a specialized AI model designed to help organizations defend against cyberattacks, but it will only be available to a limited group of vetted "cyber defenders" rather than the general public. The company plans to roll out access within days and will work with other organizations and government agencies to establish a trusted access system for the model.
