Verdict
When to choose each
GPT-5.6 Cyber
Where it leads
- Lower price per 1M input tokens, $12.50 vs $15
- Accepts image input
- Cheaper cached input, $1.25 vs $1.50 per 1M tokens
Best for
- Daybreak Red teams that need exploit validation and security testing at a lower price than GPT-6 Cyber
Watch out for
- Limited access: available only to approved Daybreak Red customers
- OpenAI rates it High but not Critical in cybersecurity, and says it sometimes writes shorter, less detailed vulnerability reports than GPT-5.6 Sol
- OpenAI's newer GPT-6 Cyber (November 5, 2026) scores 48.5% on ExploitGym in OpenAI's chart, against 32.1% for this model; no independent benchmark score is recorded here
GPT-Rosalind-6
Where it leads
No measured lead over GPT-5.6 Cyber in this data.
Best for
- Drug discovery and life sciences research teams approved for OpenAI's trusted access
- Dual-use biology research that GPT-6 Astra is more likely to refuse
Watch out for
- Limited access: OpenAI offers it only through its trusted-access program, after reviewing each applicant's intended use, security controls and governance, for internal research
- OpenAI treats it as High capability in the biological and chemical domain, so access comes with security, monitoring and enforcement terms
- OpenAI publishes no context window for it and compares it only with GPT-Rosalind-5.5; no independent benchmark score is recorded here yet
