OpenAI's decision to release GPT-5.6-Cyber—explicitly trained for zero-day discovery and exploit-chain development—immediately after pausing an earlier model for cyber risk contradicts its stated safety concerns. The timing indicates either the security pause was performative or the company's internal threat assessment for offensive capability differs sharply from what triggered Friday's caution. The pattern is significant because it shows how AI safety friction gets resolved: not through sustained restraint, but through product iteration that technically addresses concerns while preserving commercial momentum.
