OpenAI will delay GPT-5.6 after Trump administration request
The Verge·June 25, 2026
The Trump administration has requested OpenAI to delay the release of its GPT-5.6 model due to potential security concerns. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that the model will be released in a limited preview form, granting access to a small group of enterprise customers. The Trump administration will approve access for customers on a case-by-case basis during the preview period. This decision is seen as a more favorable deal for OpenAI compared to its rival Anthropic.
