OpenAI says U.S. government will vet who gets GPT-5.6

U.S. government will decide who gets to use GPT-5.6

OpenAI will let the U.S. government vet which companies can access GPT-5.6, its latest model. This marks a sharp shift for the Trump administration, which previously pushed a hands-off AI policy. The post doesn't spell out the vetting criteria, which agency runs it, or why OpenAI agreed. I'd hold off drawing conclusions until those details surface.

Why it matters: WaPo exclusive on US government vetting for GPT-5.6 access is a solid scoop, but the article doesn't disclose the criteria, which agency runs it, or OpenAI's rationale, so it stays below 85.
