Summary
The Trump administration, apprehensive of potential security issues, has reportedly asked OpenAI to stagger the release of its next big-ticket model, GPT-5.6. The Information reported that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told employees Wednesday in a company Q&A that it would release GPT-5.6 in limited preview form, granting access only to a small group of enterprise customers, in compliance with a request from the federal government. It’s a more favorable deal than the Trump administration gave OpenAI rival Anthropic, which earlier this month received an ultimatum requiring it to suspend access to its Mythos 5 and Fable 5, models. Now, some of those concerns seem to be coming to pass there’s more to it than EV minimalism. Apple raises prices on Macs, iPads, and more by hundreds of dollars.
