Story

The five-pillar plan includes a Trusted Access for Cyber (TAC) program providing tiered access to government agencies, cloud providers, and critical infrastructure operators. The specialized model variant for defensive security tasks is interesting, but I'm skeptical that a model-per-domain approach scales. We'll see if GPT-5.4-Cyber actually outperforms GPT-5.4 on security tasks or if this is mostly branding.
