OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol Release Restricted by Trump Admin

OpenAI is restricting the release of its new artificial intelligence model, GPT-5.6 Sol, at the request of the Trump administration. This follows a government vetting process for AI products due to cybersecurity risks. The new AI product will initially only be available to a small group of trusted partners approved by the administration. OpenAI stated this is a temporary step towards broader availability in the coming weeks. This action comes after the government previously intervened with OpenAI's rival, Anthropic, which pulled two AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, after a Trump directive. Officials are concerned because Anthropic warned its Mythos model could find software flaws, potentially threatening critical computer networks. OpenAI believes its Sol model is better at fixing vulnerabilities than carrying out cyberattacks, but acknowledges potential unforeseen risks. The bottom line: Government scrutiny of advanced AI systems is increasing due to national security concerns.
