Key points
- OpenAI will provide its Daybreak cyber‑defence system and GPT‑5.6 Sol model to Ukraine for free.
- CERT‑UA says Ukraine suffered nearly 6,000 cyber attacks in 2025.
- Daybreak can rapidly spot system weaknesses and propose fixes, according to OpenAI.
George Osborne, former UK chancellor and now Head of OpenAI for Countries, said the assistance is about defending essential services against both physical and digital threats. Sophos senior director of threat intelligence Rafe Pilling welcomed the initiative, noting Russia’s cyber operations have been a key component of the conflict since 2014. Jamie MacColl of the Royal United Services Institute observed that Western tech firms have long supported Ukraine, partly for altruistic reasons and partly to gain valuable data, and said the Daybreak access could be a useful force multiplier. The announcement was made alongside the UN General Assembly, where OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei are scheduled to speak.
