Patch the Planet: a Daybreak initiative to support open source maintainers

OpenAI has launched a program called Patch the Planet, which pairs artificial intelligence tools with human security experts to identify and repair vulnerabilities in open-source software. The initiative utilizes new proprietary models, such as GPT-5.5-Cyber and Codex Security, to automate the detection of code flaws at scale. By focusing on open-source infrastructure, this effort aims to improve global digital security, addressing ongoing concerns about the potential for AI models to both discover and exploit software weaknesses.
