Alongside GPT-5.5's system card, OpenAI launched a dedicated bio bug bounty offering up to $25,000 for researchers who find universal jailbreaks that bypass bio safety guardrails. The bounty reflects heightened concern about frontier models' potential to assist with biological threats — OpenAI subjected GPT-5.5 to its full Preparedness Framework evaluation including targeted red-teaming for advanced biology and cybersecurity capabilities, with feedback from nearly 200 early-access partners.
