This week, the company held a meeting with utility companies from more than 40 states that collectively provide services to more than half of the people who live in the US.<\/p>\n<p>Also as part of the new initiative, OpenAI is launching a pilot program with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/on-prem\/2025\/09\/30\/cisa-kills-agreement-with-nonprofit-that-runs-ms-isac\/764252\" target=\"_blank\">Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC)<\/a> to train and support state, local, tribal, and territorial cyber defenders, beginning with public-sector and water-system defenders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pilot will pair Daybreak access with guided training and hands-on assistance for an initial group of public sector and water system defenders, helping them validate and prioritize findings, coordinate remediation, and develop a repeatable approach that can be expanded over time,\u201d according to a Thursday OpenAI <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/daybreak-for-frontline-defenders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Just in time for Astra&#8217;s debut<\/h3>\n<p>All of this civic-minded work comes as OpenAI <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/ai-and-ml\/2026\/09\/03\/openai-throws-astra-into-the-top-tier-model-ring\/5294378\" target=\"_blank\">debuts its latest Astra model<\/a>, which researcher Eric Wallace called \u201cworld&#8217;s most capable model for cybersecurity\u201d during the Thursday event. Wallace leads OpenAI\u2019s efforts on training and evaluating models\u2019 cybersecurity capabilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the week, OpenAI said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/security\/2026\/09\/02\/claude-mythos-only-model-to-complete-full-cyber-kill-chain-experts-say\/5294071\" target=\"_blank\">Astra reached its \u201ccritical\u201d cybersecurity<\/a> capability threshold. This means the new model is so good at finding and exploiting zero-day bugs that it poses a significant risk to critical systems, both from malicious users and even from the model itself, which is capable of carrying out harmful cyber actions \u201cif misaligned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, OpenAI released Astra with a restricted level of cybersecurity capabilities that Wallace said the company will enforce through various safeguards. \u201cWe have things like system level mitigations that block certain prompts from going through,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe have things like model level refusals that prevent certain types of tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This also means participants in OpenAI\u2019s Daybreak Blue and Daybreak Red programs won\u2019t have access to Astra on day one. Daybreak Blue is a restricted access tier for select partners who are allowed to use GPT-5.6 Sol for defensive cybersecurity workflows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Daybreak Red requires additional layers of approval and uses GPT-5.6 Cyber for authorized offensive security actions such as proof-of-concept exploit development, exploit-chain validation, penetration testing, and red teaming.<\/p>\n<p>The AI giant is working to make Astra available to both programs\u2019 participants \u201cat a later date,\u201d Wallace said.\u00ae<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
