OpenAI staggers GPT 5.6 release at Trump administration's request · 7 sources tracked

OpenAI is staggering the release of its new AI model, GPT 5.6, following a request from the Trump administration. The company will initially provide a limited preview to select partners, with a broader public release planned for a few weeks later, pending government approval. This move mirrors Anthropic's earlier approach with its Mythos model and reflects the administration's growing focus on vetting powerful AI technologies before widespread deployment. AI

IMPACT This intervention signals increased government scrutiny over advanced AI model releases, potentially influencing future development and deployment strategies across the industry.
