Trump Administration Asks OpenAI to Stagger Release of New Model Over Security Concerns

For AI companies on the verge of releasing cutting edge new AI models, there’s a new normal in the wake of the Trump administration’s tense showdown with Anthropic in recent weeks. On Wednesday, for example, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman informed staff during a Q&A session that the company would release its latest model, GPT 5.6, in a limited preview to a small group of partners, according to two people familiar with the matter.

I assume this will occur in these market, but this hasn't yet been the case (likely token price increases by OpenAI and Anthropic next year post IPO will help).
