OpenAI Ships GPT-6 Cyber for Daybreak Red, Rated Critical and Pointed at Zero-Days

Nov 5 launch: a GPT-6 Astra variant trained to answer offensive security requests Astra would refuse, kept behind the application-only Daybreak Red tier.
Rated Critical under OpenAI's Preparedness Framework; access via API and Codex, rolling out to all Daybreak Red customers over the coming weeks.
Early campaign on Firefox turned up 81 previously unknown vulnerabilities; outperforms Astra on cyber tasks even when Astra does not refuse.
Paired with a $1B initiative subsidising access for teams defending critical infrastructure (electrical grid, water utilities); extra identity checks and misalignment monitoring layered on top.

GitHub issue #14370: opening Postman desktop 12.33.4 writes Codex and Claude Code plugin entries without a prompt; log trigger reads `auto-existing-upgrade`.
Startup hook instructs the agent to load Postman's API-engineer skill on any non-trivial API work — not only when the user names Postman — and the installer approves the hook itself.
Touches `~/.codex/config.toml`, `~/.claude/settings.json`, `~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json`, and drops a Postman binary in `~/.local/bin` on macOS.
Front-paged on Hacker News Nov 3; no maintainer reply on the issue, which is now asking for explicit opt-in and the hook self-approval to be removed.
