OpenAI's AI patches 948 Linux kernel bugs

🔥 What happened OpenAI built an autonomous pipeline that found and patched 948 Linux kernel privilege-escalation bugs in a single week, using an unreleased cyber model. Total API cost: $1.2M. Ten of the exploit techniques are considered novel. 💡 Why it matters Researchers typically find ~20 Linux LPEs per year. This model hit roughly 1,000 in seven days at about $1,000 per vulnerability. OpenAI is now steering "significant" frontier compute toward pro bono open-source patching. ⚡ Our take This is where AI security stops being a demo and becomes infrastructure. Anyone still auditing by hand in 2027 loses to a pipeline that runs overnight.
