OpenAI Launches GPT-5.6 After Trump Administration Approval

OpenAI has received the Trump administration's approval to publicly release GPT-5.6, its most advanced AI model, after a two-week regulatory hold that restricted access to government-approved organizations. CEO Sam Altman described it as the best model the company has ever produced. Alongside the public rollout, OpenAI also announced ChatGPT Work, a new offering tied to the launch celebration. The release marks a significant moment in the relationship between AI companies and federal regulators.
