Intelligence Summary
OpenAI says it has limited the rollout of GPT-5.6 following a government access request. The company argues that special government access processes should not become the default for its models. OpenAI frames the change as a way to balance compliance needs with broader availability for developers, enterprises, and cyber defenders. The restriction could affect who can access GPT-5.6 features and under what conditions. Users and organizations should review their intended GPT-5.6 access plans and monitor updates from OpenAI for availability changes.
