The European Union's executive arm is in talks with OpenAI over potential access to its artificial-intelligence services for cybersecurity, a spokesperson said Monday.

It comes after OpenAI said it is trialing GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new version of its AI model that is capable of finding software vulnerabilities, for a limited group of partners.

"We welcome OpenAI's transparency and their intent to give the [European Commission] access to its new model," spokesperson Thomas Regnier said. "That's definitely a very good development," he said. The commission is in talks with the company with further discussion planned later this week, he added.

The EU's economy commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis said earlier this month that the commission is in talks with Anthropic over its new Mythos AI model.

Regnier said talks with the companies are at different stages. "We have good contacts going on with Anthropic, where there is a lot of exchanges and an exchange of information, but we're not yet at the current stage, at the same stage as the solution we have on the table from OpenAI," he said.

OpenAI didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
