Original title: OpenAI expands security testing with help from external experts
OpenAI plans to bring external security researchers into its next internal security sprint, partnering with Cathedral Systems to test and strengthen defenses using its own models. The previous sprint involved 25% of product engineers who used Codex to reproduce vulnerabilities and prepare patches; the Security Bug Bounty reward for critical findings is more than quadrupling, with exceptional findings eligible for up to $172,000 including bonuses. The sprint start date is unspecified, and OpenAI has committed $1 billion in subsidized access over six months for Daybreak customers defending critical services.
