OpenAI will delay GPT-5.6 after Trump administration request

TL;DR

  • The Trump administration has asked OpenAI to stagger the release of its GPT-5.6 model over security concerns.
  • OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated the model will have a limited preview release.
  • The federal government will approve customer access on a case-by-case basis during the preview period.
  • This request is less stringent than measures taken against OpenAI rival Anthropic.
  • Anthropic was previously required to suspend access to its models for non-US citizens.
