Insiders: US Department of Commerce Approves OpenAI Broadly Launching GPT-5.6 Model

Odaily Odaily reports that the US Department of Commerce has approved OpenAI for the broad rollout of the GPT-5.6 model. According to insiders, OpenAI is expected to officially launch GPT-5.6 on a large scale this week, following the completion of additional safety tests and multiple rounds of meetings with US government officials.
