Cloudflare announced that its security team is using OpenAI's Daybreak system to investigate discovered vulnerabilities and draft remediation suggestions. The same team also uses OpenAI Codex – an AI that can write and refactor code – to speed up development and raise code quality. The company says the AI assistance helps them respond to threats faster and produce cleaner patches.

## The facts

- OpenAI Daybreak and Codex are being used by Cloudflare as of Oct 21, 2026
- The announcement was published on Wed Oct 21 2026

## Why it matters

Faster bug fixes could reduce the time cloud services remain exposed to attackers.
