OpenAI may preview GPT-6 Cyber within days

Reuters says OpenAI may preview GPT-6 Cyber within days and pair it with a safer deployment product. OpenAI has not announced the model or a firm release date.

Why it matters

Builders could get a strong new security tool with tighter access rules. The deployment limits may matter as much as the model itself.

Five Celtics camp players are chasing two open roster spots

CelticsBlog says Boston enters camp with one standard spot and one two-way spot open. Five players on camp deals are competing, and the team has not named winners.

Why it matters
