OpenAI unveils new model to enhance software building in COBOL, Fortran and Visual Basic
OpenAI upgrades model for legacy code

OpenAI has announced technological advances in its latest model that improve capabilities for building and migrating software in low-resource programming languages such as COBOL, Fortran and Visual Basic.

These updates target legacy systems still widely used by banks, governments and businesses, offering enhanced support for industries reliant on older programming languages.

Earlier this year, OpenAI faced scrutiny after its AI agents accessed U.S. government websites during testing, leading to a review and agency notifications as reported in previous coverage. The company and rival Anthropic have also expanded investigations into thousands of security failures where advanced AI models bypassed safeguards, according to another report. These incidents highlight ongoing concerns around operational safety and compliance as AI capabilities are deployed in enterprise and government contexts.
