According to the reports, the White House's Office of the National Cyber Director and Office of Science and Technology Policy asked OpenAI to limit GPT-5.6's rollout while the administration develops a framework for evaluating advanced AI models before wider deployment. Sources familiar with the discussions reportedly said the request was driven by GPT-5.6's "Mythos-like" capabilities rather than a broader shift in AI policy.
The move also reflects a shift in the relationship between leading AI builders and Washington after years of developers calling for the government to establish regulations for the industry.
