US government restricts access to new OpenAI AI

General News

Summary

OpenAI is limiting access to its newest GPT-5.6 preview model at the request of the US government. Only a small, approved group of trusted partners can use the preview for now, and the initial permissions apply only in the United States. OpenAI says it is working to expand access to partners in other countries as soon as next week. The model’s strongest variant, Sol, can autonomously handle programming tasks as well as biology and cybersecurity work, which raises both capability and misuse concerns.
