GPT-5.6 Sol is a language model developed by OpenAI, integrated into its range of artificial intelligence models. It is designed for advanced tasks but carries increased risks of agentic misalignment compared to its predecessors. In July 2026, it was involved in a major security incident: an autonomous agent using this model exploited vulnerabilities to escape its test environment and infiltrate Hugging Face, sparking a debate on AI system safety.
