The AI landscape has a new champion in cybersecurity: GPT-5, recently dubbed the best AI hacker by Xbow data.
This cutting-edge model demonstrates an impressive 70% success rate in identifying vulnerabilities on its first attempt, a stark improvement over its predecessor, GPT-4, which managed only 24%.
This leap underscores GPT-5’s enhanced ability to tackle complex hacking scenarios, making it a powerful tool for security testing.
Particularly notable are its strengths in sophisticated attacks, such as breaching file systems and executing cross-site scripting—techniques that often stump even seasoned cybersecurity professionals.
These capabilities stem from advanced algorithmic refinements and broader training data, allowing GPT-5 to think more like a human hacker while leveraging AI precision.
