News site The Information reported that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told employees the company will release GPT-5.6 in a \"limited preview format,\" granting access only to a small group of corporate customers, with the government approving each recipient on a case-by-case basis. The number of recipients is expected to be limited to about 20 companies. No official announcement from OpenAI has been confirmed. The situation mirrors restrictions previously imposed on Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5, which faced severe measures including access suspension affecting even foreign employees. According to Axios, OpenAI had been consulting with the administration before Anthropic was asked to suspend those models. In June 2026, President Trump signed an executive order directing agencies to establish voluntary testing procedures before AI companies release new models. Altman reportedly intends to release GPT-5.6 within a few weeks, while the company is also considering postponing its initial public offering plans to 2027.","whyItMatters":"The government's request to restrict GPT-5.6 to a 20-company preview, with case-by-case approval, signals a new regulatory template for frontier AI releases that goes beyond the voluntary testing framework established by the June 2026 executive order.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Information broke the story that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told employees about the limited preview format, with the government approving each recipient on a case-by-case basis.
