Executive Summary
OpenAI disclosed GPT-Red, an internal automated red-teaming model that finds prompt injection vulnerabilities at scale and is used to adversarially train GPT-5.6 Sol; earlier models were highly vulnerable to it.
What Happened
OpenAI has disclosed details of GPT-Red, an internal automated red-teaming model that scales prompt injection vulnerability discovery with an aim to fix issues before the tools are deployed widely. "GPT‑Red is a strong red-teamer, and our previous models are highly vulnerable to its prompt injection attacks," the artificial intelligence (AI) company said. "We use GPT‑Red to adversarially train
