Summary
OpenAI is running a bug bounty program (a competition where security researchers find vulnerabilities and report them for rewards) to test GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.6 for universal jailbreaks (methods that can trick the AI into ignoring its safety rules for biology-related requests). The company increased rewards from $25,000 to $50,000 for researchers who successfully find these vulnerabilities, aiming to strengthen safeguards before releasing advanced AI models.
