After dissing Anthropic for limiting Mythos, OpenAI restricts access to Cyber, too
OpenAI, after criticizing Anthropic's restricted access to Mythos, is now limiting access to its own cybersecurity tool, Cyber.Summary
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has announced that OpenAI will restrict access to its cybersecurity tool, Cyber, to "critical cyber defenders" in the coming days. This move follows OpenAI's criticism of Anthropic for similarly limiting access to its tool, Mythos, which Altman had labeled as "fear-based marketing." OpenAI is implementing an application process on its website to vet users based on their credentials and intended use for Cyber, a tool designed for tasks like penetration testing, vulnerability identification, and malware reverse engineering. The company cites concerns about potential misuse of the tool by malicious actors as the reason for the restricted rollout. OpenAI is reportedly working with the U.S. government to expand access to Cyber to more users with legitimate cybersecurity credentials.
