OpenAI tests GPT-5.6 in restricted US rollout
OpenAI has commenced a restricted, US-only rollout of its new GPT-5.6 AI model series, which includes the Sol, Terra, and Luna models. To comply with voluntary safety and security frameworks from the U.S. government, access is initially limited to a small group of vetted partners before a planned general release in the coming weeks.
// ANALYSIS
