The White House is asking OpenAI to slow roll the release of its new model over safety concerns

OpenAI's latest model, GPT 5.6, is set to have a limited release. Unlike previous models, it will not be made available to the general public. Instead, the company plans to share it with a select group of close partners. This decision has been made in response to a request from the Trump administration, which has expressed safety concerns about the model. The administration's concerns have led to a more restricted release strategy for GPT 5.6. OpenAI has decided to take a cautious approach and limit the model's availability to a smaller group of partners. The company's decision to slow down the release of its new model is a significant departure from its previous approach, which involved making its models widely available. The limited release of GPT 5.6 is likely to have significant implications for the development and use of AI models. The Trump administration's request to OpenAI highlights the growing concern about the safety and potential risks associated with AI models. As AI technology continues to evolve, it is likely that we will see more scrutiny and regulation of its development and release.
