Story

Under an EU Cyber Action Plan, OpenAI is opening limited-preview GPT-5.5-Cyber to vetted EU defenders for vulnerability triage, malware analysis, and binary reverse engineering, and Anthropic followed by opening its restricted Mythos model to ENISA. OpenAI notes the first preview won't beat base GPT-5.5 on every eval, the significance is the geopolitics of gated, defender-only access. Offensive-capable models are now negotiated like arms-control, with governments queuing for access. That's a different world than open weights on Ollama, and both are happening at once.
