By
Ina Fried, Ashley Gold
Summary
OpenAI is releasing GPT-5.6 in three versions (Sol, Terra, Luna) but is limiting access at the request of the U.S. government due to national security concerns. This follows similar restrictions on Anthropic's advanced models, signaling a trend where Washington treats cutting-edge AI as products requiring government review before wide release.
