GPT-5.4-Cyber: What you need to know

Security Intelligence Podcast

Show Notes

Earlier this week, OpenAI dropped GPT-5.4-Cyber, a “cyber-permissive” variant of GPT-5.4 .

Basically: It's lets you do some things in the name of security research and defense that you can’t normally do with a regular GPT model.

But you have to prove you’re a cybersecurity pro with good intentions to get access.

On this bonus episode of Security Intelligence, Jeff Crume and Martin Keen join host Matthew Kosinski to break down what the new model means for cybersecurity and the big picture trends driving the evolution of LLMs.
