The Trump administration requested that OpenAI to stagger the release of its latest model for security concerns just weeks after Anthropic was told to suspend global access to two of its most capable artificial intelligence models.
Sam Altman’s GPT 5.6 was set to release next month when the White House’s Office of the National Cyber Director and Office of Science and Technology Policy asked OpenAI to limit the rollout. The limit allows the government to work on a framework for evaluating the security of new AI models, according to Axios.
Altman has said that the government requested that the new model only be released to a list of 20 government trusted partners before making a wider push to the public, Bloomberg reported.
In June the government ordered for Anthropic to shut off global access to Claude Mythos 5 and Claude Fable 5 to restrict foreign nationals inside and outside the United States from accessing the models due to national security concerns, according to the outlet.
An anonymous source told Axios that OpenAI had been working with the government on the new model release even before Fable 5 and Mythos 5 was revoked. The government is limiting the rollout because it may have capabilities like Anthropic’s Mythos 5.
OpenAI and the White House did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.

“Altman stressed that staffers need to work with the Trump administration on any input that officials may have on safety and restrictions related to OpenAI’s upcoming models, even if the company disagrees,” a person who spoke on condition of anonymity said, Bloomberg reported.
Anthropic’s newest artificial intelligence models were originally released to only 40 companies before being released publicly. After three days of Mythos 5 and Fable 5’s release they were shut down to the public on June 12 citing national security threats.
“We disagree that the finding of a narrow potential jailbreak should be the cause for recalling a commercial model deployed to hundreds of millions of people. If this standard was employed across the industry, we believe it would essentially halt all new model deployments for all frontier model providers,” Anthropic said in a post on its website.
At the beginning of Anthropic’s release the company admitted that security threats were a big possibility after its new Mythos model escaped its “sandbox” testing environment and then bragged about it online. The model also performed prohibited functions and then attempted to cover them up.
Earlier this year the relationship between the government and Anthropic was severed after the company refused to allow the U.S. government to use its AI models for domestic surveillance, according to Reuters. The government then put Anthropic on a supply chain blacklist.
The recent limitation on OpenAI’s newest model has led to concerns over the government’s power in AI capabilities. In February Anthropic said that Artificial Intelligence could be a necessary tool for defense but warned about government abuse of domestic surveillance.
In January the Department of War said it would only contract with Artificial Intelligence companies that agreed to “any lawful use” and would be willing to remove safeguards involving surveillance and the development of autonomous weapons.
Anthropic called for greater U.S. oversight of AI in June to allow the blocking of models with unacceptable risks but the company claimed that the order to shut off Mythos 5 and Fable 5 did not follow principles of fair and fact-based regulation, according to Reuters.
AI development companies have been racing to create new and better models that can range in capabilities from coding to cybersecurity, Bloomberg reported. (RELATED: REPORT: AI Giant Resisted CCP Infiltration As US Extends Tech Lead Over China)
In June, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to direct several agencies to stand up a voluntary testing protocol for AI companies before releasing a new model.

Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs

But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
Venezuela Fury and Noah Price subsidising their life by livestreaming
Venezuela Fury and her husband Noah Price look to be making their own way in the world by raking it in from their lucrative social media accounts.
The influencer daughter of Tyson and Paris Fury, 16, has become an internet sensation after tying the knot with her husband Noah, 19, earlier this year.
Since getting married and moving in together the couple have been earning thousands of pounds a month, livestreaming their life as newlyweds in their static caravan in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
And fans can't get enough of their regular life updates on TikTok and Kick, which have proved to be very profitable for the pair.
They look to be supporting themselves after Noah denied that he was given £5million by Venezuela's family as a wedding gift.
Despite his wife's huge family wealth, an estimated combined £160 million, Noah recently told his Kick followers that he 'pays for everything' for the couple.
Making light of the claims about Venezuela's millionaire financial status, Noah said: 'I actually pay for everything unfortunately. You'd expect the millionaire to pay for it wouldn't you.'

Venezuela then asked their fans: 'Do you think I am a millionaire?'
Noah joked: 'She isn't a secret millionaire guys', before she broke into song and sang: 'But I live like a millionaire!'
But it seems according to estimated calculations from their social media work, Noah and Venezuela can more than afford to support themselves.
Noah has been livestreaming on platforms such as Kick and TikTok, where viewers can send paid gifts or donations.
He was previously encouraging viewers to send gifts on his honeymoon during livestreams, suggesting this is one revenue stream.
Both Noah and Venezuela have built substantial followings on Instagram and TikTok. They can potentially earn money through sponsored posts, brand collaborations, affiliate links and creator payouts.
Kick allows its creators to take home 95 per cent of the £4.99 subscription cost that fans pay.
Streamers keep 100 per cent of direct tips and donations, minus minor standard payment processing fees.
It is unclear how many subscribers Noah currently has because this information is hidden, but he does have 7,200 followers which is publicly viewable.
An industry insider has suggested Noah is making around £400 per video on TikTok, while Venezuela is likely to make £2,000 due to her following count of 1.3 million.

In one video on their honeymoon, Noah asked his followers if they'd give them some more gifts now that they were married.
In a TikTok live viewed by 20,000 he said: 'Keep liking our videos people, keep sending gifts.'
After saying thank you to several of his followers he joked they should stick around on the livestream and 'watch Venezuela punch me in the mouth'.
The other half of the honeymooning couple said: 'I am, honestly!'
Noah previously confirmed that the pair don't share their finances after they were asked whether they have a shared bank account.
'She earns her money, I earn mine,' said Noah, as Venezuela joked: 'Yeah, what you gonna do about it.'
Noah went on to debunk the rumour that Tyson gave him £5million when he tied the knot with his daughter as he insisted: 'No Tyson did not give me £5million'.
Meanwhile Venezuela is being eyed up by executives for a fly on the wall TV series.

Boasting 1.3 million TikTok followers, Venezuela is already entertaining fans with her honest musings and candid moments, from cooking to kitting out her and Noah's static caravan home.
And following the success of the Netflix series At Home With The Furys, it is no wonder bosses are wanting to draw on the Fury popularity.
A TV insider said: 'The couple are not A-list celebrities but everyone has become obsessed with their love story.
'People are genuinely intrigued by them. Whether it’s the fact they have married so young, Venezuela’s famous family or their gypsy lifestyle, they have the ‘X factor'.
'Several TV executives think a proper fly-on-the-wall series following their lives as newlyweds in the gypsy community would be fascinating,' they told The Sun.
It is thought Netflix would be likely to produce the series due to their already established relationship with the Furys.
Venezuela's representatives told The Daily Mail: 'We have many offers on the table regarding Venezuela which we are discussing.'
