Warm and crisp on the edges. A bagel with a bit of bite.
Summary
OpenAI has launched Daybreak, an AI-powered security initiative that uses its Codex Security AI agent to detect and patch vulnerabilities in organizations' code. Daybreak creates threat models, identifies attack paths, validates vulnerabilities, and automates detection of high-risk issues. The launch comes shortly after rival Anthropic announced Claude Mythos, a security-focused AI model it deemed too dangerous for public release and only shared privately.
