OpenAI announced the new project Daybreak on May 12, aimed at enhancing the security defenses of enterprise software, particularly focusing on risk management during the daily code development process. The project is positioned against Anthropic's Glasswing initiative, emphasizing the integration of security checks into the development process rather than merely patching after software launch.

The core highlights of Daybreak include three aspects: first, it moves network defense mechanisms to the development process, allowing enterprises to identify potential risks at an early stage of coding. Second, the project uses artificial intelligence technology to automatically detect high-risk vulnerabilities, thus improving the efficiency of security reviews. Finally, OpenAI also provides comprehensive evaluation and repair support to help enterprises quickly respond to security challenges.

In terms of implementation, OpenAI has launched three available models: the general-purpose GPT-5.5, the GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber designed for verified environments, and the GPT-5.5-Cyber tailored for specific workflows. These models can provide comprehensive security protection for enterprises.

The Daybreak project is based on OpenAI's previously released GPT-5.4-Cyber model, which has successfully helped fix more than 3,000 vulnerabilities. By combining OpenAI's intelligent models with Codex's execution framework, enterprises can continuously conduct security reviews during daily code writing and testing, rather than focusing on vulnerability detection before release.

The project's workflow is also innovative. Daybreak accesses the enterprise's software code repository through Codex Security, generating editable threat models and automatically monitoring high-risk vulnerabilities. If the system detects a security issue, enterprises can investigate in an isolated environment, ensuring code security. This process not only optimizes risk management but is also suitable for companies with large codebases for long-term maintenance.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, stated that the company's goal is to collaborate with as many enterprises as possible to help them effectively defend against cyber threats. Currently, enterprises can apply for an assessment of the Daybreak project, including services such as vulnerability scanning, with the price yet to be announced.
