OpenAI Discloses PHP Zero-Day Critical Flaws Found via GPT-5.6 Sol, Open-Sources Scanner and Pledges $1B Defense Fund

OpenAI announced a critical coordinated vulnerability disclosure in the core PHP runtime discovered by cybersecurity firm Calif utilizing GPT-5.6 Sol, alongside independent verification by Wiz. Because PHP powers roughly 70% of all websites globally, the vulnerability represented an existential risk to internet infrastructure. Following coordinated patching, OpenAI committed $1B in subsidized Daybreak security access and open-sourced openai/php2shell-checker, an automated Codex inspection tool enabling site administrators worldwide to audit their deployments.

OpenAI Daybreak Red (GPT-5.6 Cyber) arrives on Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US-East) for vetted defenders, at $16.875 input and $101.25 output per 1M tokens

On Oct 30, AWS announced that Daybreak Red (GPT-5.6 Cyber, model ID openai.gpt-5.6-cyber), the OpenAI security model built for vulnerability research, is now on Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US-East), after previously being offered only in US East (Ohio). Access still requires passing OpenAI Daybreak eligibility. GovCloud short-context pricing is $16.875 input and $101.25 output per 1M tokens, about 23% above Ohio at $13.75 and $82.50.

GPT-6 rolls out to all of ChatGPT with Intelligent UI: interactive charts and in-chat tools, Sol for paid tiers and Luna for free

On Oct 7 OpenAI began rolling GPT-6 out globally in ChatGPT together with Intelligent UI: the model decides when to answer with diagrams, interactive charts, forms, tappable buttons or small in-chat tools (calculators, games, bill splitters) instead of plain text. Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise get it first on GPT-6 Sol; Go and free users follow on Oct 8 on GPT-6 Luna. OpenAI says GPT-6 can stream partial answers while still thinking, cutting wait times by 44%.
