Scoop: Trump administration lifts restrictions on OpenAI's GPT 5.6

The U.S. Department of Commerce has approved OpenAI's GPT-5.6 model for a public launch, according to a source familiar with the matter. OpenAI plans to release the flagship Sol model along with lower-tier versions Terra and Luna starting Thursday. The decision follows additional testing and discussions between OpenAI and government officials, with technical experts remaining in Washington to address concerns. The Trump administration previously urged a staggered release of GPT-5.6, restricting initial access to government-approved entities, which OpenAI opposed. The approval highlights ongoing negotiations between AI companies and the government over access to advanced technologies, as regulatory frameworks remain under development.
