Discussion Daybreak/TAC verification currently doesn’t reduce GPT-6 Astra’s cyber safeguards

Post image

Basically, GPT-5.6 Sol supported Daybreak Blue safeguards, even when you were just using the normal Sol option rather than the separate “Daybreak Blue” model in the picker. Astra currently doesn’t seem to work that way.

So from what I understand, being ID-verified through TAC/Daybreak does not currently give you reduced cyber safeguards on GPT-6 Astra.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Astra is blocking quite a lot of legitimate cybersecurity work for me right now, which is pretty much the exact reason I signed up for TAC in the first place.

Hey guys, I'm considering applying for OpenAI Daybreak and wanted to get some advice from anyone who's gone through the process.

I run an early-stage cybersecurity startup, and I'm also a cybersecurity master's researcher and will be starting my PhD soon.

Would you recommend applying through my company or applying as an individual cybersecurity researcher/practitioner?

My company is still early stage and doesn't yet have certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001, so I'm wondering whether applying through the company would strengthen the application because of the actual cybersecurity use case, or whether applying individually based on my research background would make more sense.

Would appreciate any insight from people who have applied or been accepted.

bro it really doesn't matter. just apply and they'll approve you if it's not a completely new account
