Summary
The White House has asked OpenAI to restrict the release of its upcoming GPT 5.6 model to only government-approved partners due to concerns over its advanced capabilities. This follows a similar export control order placed on Anthropic, which led to the company pulling its advanced models Mythos and Fable over fears about their cybersecurity capabilities. The situation reflects growing government oversight of frontier AI development.
