OpenAI Rolls Out GPT-5.6—But Only for Some Users Due to Trump Admin

60-second summary

OpenAI is rolling out the GPT-5.6 family of AI models, but only a select few users can access them currently due to U.S. government restrictions. The exact number of affected users is unclear, but this limitation is reportedly tied to the Trump administration's export control policies. This move may hinder AI research and development.

OpenAI introduced the GPT-5.6 family of AI models on Friday, but only limited users can access them for now thanks to the U.S. government.
