OpenAI Delays GPT-5.6 Launch at Request of U.S. Government

OpenAI announced the delay of its GPT-5.6 AI model launch at the request of the U.S. government. Initial access will be restricted to a small group of vetted partners, reflecting rising concerns about national security risks associated with advanced AI systems. The U.S. government aims to monitor potential security threats, such as cyberattacks, before these tools are commercially released. OpenAI is collaborating with Washington to develop a broader regulatory framework for future launches.
