Codex is open source and allows any model to be configured.

They hint at their AI-augmented reversing methodology, which demonstrates one of the core strengths of current LLM agents. These models, trained extensively on code, can immensely speed up the process of understanding complex system internals.

Security research historically has two difficult components that build on one another: 1. Understanding complex system internals: uncovering the inner workings hidden by abstractions or interfaces 2. Finding vulnerabilities in these uncovered mechanisms

Sometimes both steps are equally hard. But often, finding the vulnerability is trivial once the real mechanisms are uncovered, rather than relying on assumptions about inner workings.

CVE-2026-3854 is a case where the vulnerability is not plainly obvious after understanding the internals. Still, I am confident that this command injection would have been found quickly had it been exposed to a more traditional or accessible attack surface.

Do you have a source for that?

Neither the release post, nor the model card seems to indicate anything like this?

Everyone talked about the marketing stunt that was Anthropic's gated Mythos model with an 83% result on CyberGym. OpenAI just dropped GPT 5.5, which scores 82% and is open for anybody to use.

I recommend anybody in offensive/defensive cybersecurity to experiment with this. This is the real data point we needed - without the hype!

Never thought I'd say this but OpenAI is the 'open' option again.

There's now also https://github.com/vector-im/element-call.

They have SFU support as of recently, so it should scale similarly to Jitsi et al.

Fully agree. But instead of having "the government have full control over people's money", I think, setting this up as a federated cheap-to-run payment system would be even better. This would allow multiple existing banks to offer the service to their existing customers. This could reduce the risk of a fully decentralized solution a little bit.

It's private for the user. Transactions are only between you and the merchant. Credit card networks, PayPal, etc are all third parties with insight into all Payments going through them globally.

It's offline. Neither you nor the merchant have to have a connection to the bank for the transaction to happen.
