White House Says It Did Not Approve OpenAI’s GPT 5.6 Release
2026-07-10 13:57:44
According to Axios, OpenAI and Anthropic sought U.S. government engagement ahead of widely releasing their latest high-powered AI models, reflecting the Trump administration’s approach that includes export-control threats, potential licensing requirements, and negotiations across multiple agencies. Axios reported that President Trump scrapped reporting requirements from a Biden-era AI executive order that had required companies to share safety-testing results with the government, including whether models could be “jailbroken,” and that Amazon flagged a jailbreaking vulnerability last month that Axios said ultimately led to export controls on Anthropic. The White House said Tuesday it did not approve or disapprove OpenAI’s decision to release GPT 5.6, while OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on CNBC the day after the company announced a wide release that the government talks were “very productive.” Axios also reported that a voluntary industry framework required by a June AI executive order is due Aug. 1.
