Svmuu News: OpenAI CEO Altman stated that the company made several adjustments during consultations with the Donald Trump government prior to the public release of its latest AI model.Altman said that in the weeks leading up to the full release of GPT-5.6, OpenAI engaged in collaborative, two-way communication with senior U.S. officials, including Commerce Secretary Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Bessent. Under pressure from the government to roll out the release in phases, the new model series was initially made available only to select partners.
After OpenAI indicated it had received approval from U.S. government leadership, GPT-5.6 was scheduled to be made available to the public on Thursday. Altman did not elaborate on the specific adjustments OpenAI made during this process, but noted that the government is testing the new model and looking for potential issues.“I think as long as the process is transparent, fair, and swift, it’s a good thing. The government does seem to share these goals, and I imagine the next time—with the next model—things will go more smoothly. We’ve come to understand the process and have a clearer idea of how to navigate it.” (Jin Shi)
