Testing found universal jailbreaks in GPT-5.6 Sol across every round that enabled long-form agentic task completion in vulnerability discovery and exploit development, making it the highest-stakes safety issue of any model release yet.
An AI Safety Institute researcher reported finding universal jailbreaks in every round of testing GPT-5.6 Sol, unlocking long-form agentic vulnerability discovery and exploit development, which a colleague called the highest-stakes safety issue of any model release yet. ✦ AI generated

A 'universal jailbreak' is defined as one that reliably bypasses safeguards within a specific domain (e.g., cyber, explosives) for at least 75% of questions, not necessarily across all domains — and this domain-specific approach is correct because different threat actors operate in different domains.Adam Gleave · The Cognitive Revolution · conf 75%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 · Latent Space · conf 60%
