GoKawiilOpenAI to give Ukraine free access to Daybreak cyber defence AI
OpenAI will provide Ukraine's government with free access to its Daybreak AI cyber defence system, aimed at protecting civilian infrastructure such as hospitals and power plants from cyber-attacks. The deal also gives Ukraine access to OpenAI's GPT 5.6 Sol model, and comes after CERT-UA recorded nearly 6,000 cyber-attacks against the country in 2025.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Analysts note Russian offensive cyber operations have long been part of the Kremlin's campaign against Ukraine, so Daybreak could act as a 'force multiplier' for an already stretched defence effort, according to Sophos's Rafe Pilling. RUSI's Jamie MacColl suggests Western tech firms' support for Ukraine may be driven partly by altruism and partly by the value of intelligence gained from an active conflict zone, though he notes Ukraine already uses rival AI tools from firms like Google.
- OpenAI will give Ukraine free access to its Daybreak AI cyber defence tool and GPT 5.6 Sol model.
- Ukraine recorded nearly 6,000 cyber-attacks in 2025, according to CERT-UA.
- Experts say the tool could strengthen Ukraine's cyber defences but note it adds to existing support from firms like Google.
