OpenAI plans to initially release its new ChatGPT 5.6 model exclusively to customers approved by the U.S. government, according to a report by The Information. This staggered release, detailed in a memo from CEO Sam Altman, will be followed by a broader public release a few weeks later. The move comes amid interactions with federal agencies like the Office of the National Cyber Director and the Office of Science and Technology Policy, following President Trump's executive order for voluntary federal review of powerful AI models.
