OpenAI has agreed to a staggered release of its new flagship AI model, GPT-5.6 Sol, following a request from the Trump administration due to security concerns. Access to Sol, which boasts significant advancements in coding and cybersecurity capabilities, will initially be limited to customers approved by the U.S. government. This move mirrors recent government actions, such as export controls placed on Anthropic's models, and aligns with an executive order for voluntary early access to powerful AI for government review.
