OpenAI says it is limiting the release of its latest AI model, GPT-5.6 Sol, to customers approved by President Donald Trump’s administration. Multiple outlets report that the company is taking the step at the request of the administration as part of a cybersecurity review process. According to the reporting, OpenAI and also Anthropic are restricting access to their newest models, making them available only to a small group of “trusted partners” or similarly approved customers. The described restriction is temporary and tied to the ongoing review, rather than a general public rollout. The coverage characterizes the move as compliance with government scrutiny before broader availability. Details such as the specific review criteria, the identity of the approved customers, and the timeline for lifting the restrictions were not included in the provided excerpts. Overall, the sources agree that OpenAI is narrowing distribution of GPT-5.6 Sol to administration-approved partners while cybersecurity checks are conducted.
