Overview

AISummary of 4 articles

OpenAI says it is more than quadrupling bug bounty rewards for critical findings, with exceptional findings eligible for up to $172,000 including bonuses.

The updated reward ranges also apply to reports still awaiting a bounty, and for bounties awarded in the past 30 days OpenAI will pay the difference if a finding qualifies for more under the new ranges. A separate OpenAI News post adds report quality, loyalty and priority campaign bonuses for independent researchers.

OpenAI also says it is planning its next internal security sprint and partnering with Cathedral Systems, whose researchers will use OpenAI's models alongside its teams to challenge the company's defenses. An Andrew Curran post on X says Cathedral was founded by former DOGE staffers who recently hacked Anthropic's Slack; no source is given for that claim.
