OpenAI Details GPT-Red: An Internal Automated Red-Teaming Model That Beat Human Red-Teamers 84% To 13% On Prompt Injection

OpenAI trained GPT-Red, an internal-only attacker model, using self-play reinforcement learning against a population of defender LLMs. It beat human red-teamers 84% to 13% on a replicated indirect prompt injection arena, found a novel "Fake Chain-of-Thought" attack class, and cut GPT-5.6 Sol's failures 6x on OpenAI's hardest direct injection benchmark. OpenAI concedes it still struggles with…
