Patch the Planet: A Daybreak Initiative to Support Open Source Maintainers

My take: OpenAI launched Patch the Planet alongside Trail of Bits and HackerOne: they use GPT-5.5-Cyber to hunt for vulnerabilities in huge open-source projects (free and publicly used) like cURL, Python, Go, and aiohttp, with human security engineers validating every finding before the patch ships. It's the direct answer to Anthropic's Project Glasswing, which does the same with Mythos. And what really excites me here isn't who's winning the race between labs, but that two of the most capable models on the planet are now hunting flaws in the digital infrastructure we all use without realizing it, and doing it far faster than any human team before. This is exactly my thesis: AI used well empowers all of us, even those who'll never touch a line of code. If this scales well, open source ends the year far more secure than it started. And I love that.
