In 2023 Samsung banned generative AI internally after engineers leaked source code into ChatGPT. On June 21, 2026, OpenAI confirmed Samsung is deploying ChatGPT Enterprise and Codex to all employees in South Korea and across its worldwide Device eXperience division. That's a f...
OpenAI ships GPT-5.5-Cyber GA and "Patch the Planet" three weeks after Anthropic's Glasswing.
On June 22 OpenAI moved GPT-5.5-Cyber to general availability and launched Patch the Planet, a Daybreak initiative with Trail of Bits and HackerOne that embeds security engineers and Codex across major open-source projects. 30+ projects including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, an...
