SiliconANGLE UPDATED 18:25 EDT / JUNE 22 2026 AI OpenAI expands Daybreak with Patch the Planet and full GPT-5. 5-Cyber release by Duncan Riley OpenAI Group PBC today expanded its Daybreak cybersecurity program with a new open-source patching initiative called Patch the Planet, an updated Codex Security plugin, a partner program and the full release of its most capable defensive artificial intelligence model, GPT-5. The push marks a shift in how OpenAI talks about AI and security.
The company says its models now find vulnerabilities faster than defenders can fix them, leaving security teams buried in reports. The new bottleneck, OpenAI says, is patching. Patch the Planet is the centerpiece.
Founded with security firm Trail of Bits Inc. and in collaboration with HackerOne Inc. and Calif, the initiative funds expert researchers and equips them with Codex Security and OpenAI's models to work directly with the maintainers of widely used open-source projects.
