OpenAI releases latest ChatGPT model after delay over White House cybersecurity concerns

OpenAI released ChatGPT five point six on Thursday, completing a process that began when the Trump administration raised cybersecurity concerns about the model's capabilities. According to The Guardian, the White House had requested last month that the company limit initial access to government-approved users. OpenAI complied, briefing officials on the model's features before receiving clearance for wider release from the Center for AI Standards and Innovation. The staggered rollout mirrors restrictions the administration placed on competitor Anthropic's models.
