OpenAI has unveiled its latest AI model, GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna, but access is significantly limited due to requests from the U.S. government. The Trump administration has influenced the rollout, requiring that only customers approved by the government can use the new model. This decision comes amid security concerns, prompting OpenAI to stagger the release so that users are vetted on a case-by-case basis. Critics argue that this control misreads the threats posed by AI. As the debate over AI regulation intensifies, the situation has left many potential users unable to access the advanced capabilities of GPT-5.6.
