OpenAI built GPT-Red, an AI hacker that attacks its own models to find security flaws

OpenAI developed GPT-Red, an LLM super-hacker that hunts for prompt injection vulnerabilities in its AI systems before release. The automated red-teaming model outperformed human testers, succeeding in 84% of attack scenarios compared to 13% for humans. OpenAI used GPT-Red to train GPT-5.6, making it six times more robust against direct prompt injection attacks than GPT-5.5.
