Trump Admin Asked OpenAI to Delay GPT-5.6 Launch

The Trump administration asked OpenAI to delay the full launch of its new artificial intelligence model, GPT-5.6. The US government is preparing new rules for the safe implementation of AI. Initially, access to GPT-5.6 would be granted to about 20 trusted partners. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told employees that US authorities are concerned about advanced AI models. He urged his team to cooperate with the government on safety requirements. What's interesting is that a similar situation recently happened with the company Anthropic, which had to restrict access to its powerful models after government intervention. The Trump administration is now working on a new system for government and AI companies to interact. This includes a voluntary mechanism for authorities to access new models about 30 days before their official launch. The bottom line is that new rules aim to make the approval process for AI models more transparent.
