Part of OpenAI's Daybreak cyber defense initiative, Daybreak Red: GPT-5.6 Cyber enables verified security professionals to investigate vulnerabilities, reproduce exploits, and develop mitigations with enhanced identity verification and access controls. It operates on Bedrock’s next-generation inference engine enforcing zero-operator access at the chip level.

The model prevents use of inference data for training and requires no data sharing with OpenAI. Currently available in US East (Ohio) and AWS GovCloud (US-East), access to Daybreak Red is restricted to customers approved through OpenAI’s Daybreak program, requiring coordination with AWS account teams for enablement.
