OpenAI has released GPT-5.6 Sol, but access is restricted by the U.S. government to about 20 pre-approved companies. This rationing is expected to extend to token access, which will be allocated based on demonstrated returns, similar to capital. Meanwhile, AI agents are becoming more accessible for general knowledge work, with tools like Codex expanding beyond coding to assist with tasks like email, writing, and research, and Anthropic's Claude Code being highlighted as a capable agent-building tool.
