GPT-5.6 Sol does not cross the Cyber Critical threshold, even though in evaluations against Chromium and Firefox it identified bugs and exploitation primitives, because it did not autonomously produce a functional full-chain exploit under the tested conditions.

OpenAI states that despite strong cyber capability gains, GPT-5.6 Sol stopped short of autonomously chaining a full exploit against Chromium/Firefox, keeping it under the Preparedness Framework's Cyber Critical threshold. ✦ AI generated
