According to The Information, citing national security concerns, the Trump administration has requested that OpenAI delay its large-scale release of its next-generation flagship model, GPT-5.6. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, revealed during an internal company Q&A session that GPT-5.6 will be launched via "limited preview," accessible only to select enterprise customers whose access requires case-by-case approval by the Trump government. In contrast, OpenAI's competitor Anthropic faced significantly stricter treatment. Earlier this month, the government ordered Anthropic to suspend access to its Mythos 5 and Fable 5 models and banned "foreigners"—including non-U.S.-citizen employees under Anthropic—from using these technologies. This regulatory action sharply contradicts the Trump administration’s prior commitments to prioritizing speed and supporting U.S. AI export initiatives, sparking widespread concern across the tech industry. Today, fears regarding differential treatment among companies are increasingly becoming reality.
