OpenAI builds an AI 'super-hacker' to stress-test its own models
OpenAI has developed GPT-Red, an LLM specifically trained to attack its other models in adversarial red-teaming, and says the exercise made its newly released GPT-5.6 its most robust model to date. As health systems increasingly lean on large language models for clinical documentation and decision support, the rigor—or gaps—in how vendors red-team these systems becomes a direct patient-safety question. More from MIT Technology Review.
