OpenAI is launching GPT-5.6 after U.S. government approval, following delays due to national security reviews of advanced AI model releases. The move reflects intensifying regulatory scrutiny of frontier AI capabilities amid U.S.-China competition and concerns over potential misuse in cyberattacks.
