The U.S. Department of Commerce has cleared OpenAI to do a broad public release of its GPT five point six model this week, according to Axios. The approval comes after testing by the Center for AI Standards and Innovation. The move reverses an earlier staggered rollout that limited the model to government-approved entities. It reflects broader negotiations between federal regulators and leading AI companies over how advanced AI systems reach the public.
