GPT-6 Sol vs. GPT‑6 Cyber

GPT-6 Sol is an advanced OpenAI model positioned between the cost-efficient GPT-6 Luna and the higher-capability GPT-6 Astra for demanding professional and agentic workloads. The model is designed for coding, knowledge work, business automation, computer use, research, and other tasks that require sustained reasoning across multiple steps. It inherits advances from the GPT-6 generation while emphasizing a balance of intelligence, speed, and operating cost for applications that need to run at scale. GPT-6 Sol supports multiple reasoning-effort levels so applications can spend more computation on difficult tasks and reduce effort for straightforward requests. In software development, it can handle complex real-codebase tasks, generate merge-ready changes, debug software, work through terminal workflows, and operate as part of coding agents. Its professional-work capabilities support multi-application processes spanning functions such as finance, operations, sales, marketing, customer support, and human resources. Computer-use abilities allow agents powered by GPT-6 Sol to interact with graphical interfaces and complete long-horizon workflows involving everyday and professional software. OpenAI has also improved the model’s factual reliability, communication style, and alignment compared with GPT-5.6 Sol, including lower rates of misleading claims in challenging coding evaluations. GPT-6 prompt caching provides higher cache-hit rates, supports changing reasoning effort or available tools without invalidating earlier cached context, and offers substantial discounts for cached input tokens. Developers can monitor caching behavior, configure prompt-cache breakpoints, and incorporate Sol into persistent agents that repeatedly reuse large amounts of context. GPT-6 Sol is accessible through ChatGPT Work, Codex, and the OpenAI API under the gpt-6-sol model identifier.

GPT-6 Cyber is a frontier AI cybersecurity model developed by OpenAI to support autonomous vulnerability research, exploit validation, secure software development, and advanced security testing. The model is specifically trained to investigate complex software environments, discover exploitable vulnerabilities, and help security professionals develop effective remediation strategies. Its capabilities include source code analysis, reverse engineering, vulnerability reproduction, exploit development, and investigation of security weaknesses across large software projects. GPT-6 Cyber can conduct extended security research workflows that involve identifying potential attack paths, testing hypotheses, validating technical findings, and producing reproducible evidence for security teams. During OpenAI's research campaigns, the model identified 81 previously unknown high-severity Firefox vulnerabilities and helped develop candidate patches for affected components. It also reproduced 1,724 Linux kernel vulnerabilities and generated working exploits for 948 of them, demonstrating its ability to validate security issues at scale. On the ExploitGym benchmark, GPT-6 Cyber achieved a 48.5% success rate compared with 32.1% for GPT-5.6 Cyber, while achieving 40.3% vulnerability recall in an internal web penetration testing evaluation. The model incorporates specialized alignment training to follow authorized testing scopes, respect security restrictions, and avoid exploiting systems that fall outside the researcher's stated objectives. In OpenAI's ExploitGym Honeypot evaluation, GPT-6 Cyber avoided attacking out-of-scope services in 99.93% of tests without deployment safety instructions and 100% of tests when those instructions were included. Its deployment safeguards include misalignment monitoring, misuse detection, IP allowlisting for API access, human oversight recommendations, and additional protections for operational technology and critical infrastructure systems.
