US government delays OpenAI GPT-5.6 release over safety concerns · 1 source tracked

The U.S. government has cautioned OpenAI and Anthropic against releasing their most advanced AI models without prior approval, citing national security concerns. OpenAI's GPT-5.6 is currently in a limited preview, with a staggered release planned to allow government agencies to review it. Anthropic previously delayed its Mythos model and later pulled its Fable 5 version from the market due to government disagreement over safety measures and export control restrictions. These actions reflect a broader government effort to regulate powerful AI tools and maintain a competitive edge, though some industry experts worry about the impact of increased government intervention on AI development.
