OpenAI has launched Patch the Planet, a new initiative part of its Daybreak cybersecurity program, which was designed to serve the open-source community. The company is working with cybersecurity firm Trail of Bits that has committed its entire security research organization for the project.

Patch the Planet is meant to reduce project maintainers' burden by putting them in contact with security researchers, who use OpenAI's top models and Codex Securityto identify vulnerabilities and review findings before they even reach the maintainers. The researchers then work with maintainers to develop and test...
