OpenAI GPT-5.6 restricted rollout and government request
8 items●2 sources●updated 40d ago●trend 0
OpenAI released GPT-5.6 as a limited preview to government-vetted users after the Trump administration requested delayed rollout of the model, which features three tiers (Sol, Terra, Luna) with strengths in coding, cybersecurity, and biology. The company publicly objected to the restriction, stating such government-controlled access processes should not become standard practice.
- GPT-5.6 suite includes Sol (flagship), Terra (medium-tier), and Luna (fast/affordable) models
- Sol priced at $5 per million input tokens, $30 per million output tokens
- Initial rollout limited to ~20 government-vetted trusted partners before wider release
- OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told employees of government request for restricted access
- Trump administration also recently ordered Anthropic to restrict access to Mythos/Fable 5 model
