OpenAI begins limited rollout of Sol model to government-approved users

OpenAI has launched the GPT-5.6 family of AI models, initiating a limited rollout to select trusted partners. This deployment occurs at the request of the U.S. government and the Trump administration, restricting access to vetted users. Such government intervention may slow overall innovation, favoring well-resourced firms while complicating investment strategies in the sector. The Sol model is also being rolled out to government-approved users as part of these restrictive access measures.
