OpenAI unveils GPT-5.6 amid US AI regulatory drama

Posts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.

TL;DR

OpenAI released GPT-5.6 with three models: Sol, Terra, and Luna.
GPT-5.6 models are skilled in coding, cybersecurity, and biology.
Pricing for GPT-5.6 Sol is $5 input / $30 output per million tokens, undercutting competitors.
OpenAI highlighted enhanced safety features to prevent misuse and jailbreaking.
The limited preview is under scrutiny from the Trump administration.
OpenAI aims for broad availability but does not want government access to be the long-term default.

Fun fact: Dario once delayed the release of GPT-2 back at OpenAI, claiming it was too dangerous https://t.co/a19cjJUlY0

Good new first: Sol is a smart, efficient, and a significant step forward. It is the same price as GPT-5.5. Also launching in the GPT-5.6 family is Terra, with 5.5-level performance at half the price.

Bad news: at the request of the US government, it is launching today in limited preview instead of the open access launch we were planning on. We are working with the government to get to general availability as fast as we can.

I think it is quite reasonable to roll out models--especially as they reach significant new levels of capability--in this way. It fits with our long-held strategy of iterative deployment. But this isn't quite the process that we think is optimal.

Now we will with the government to attempt to get to a transparent, reliable process for early access, and to ensure that as long as our safeguards work as intended we can release widely. We want to be a reliable, dependable partner that works with all stakeholders, and we also want to live by our mission of benefiting all of humanity. I believe the government shares most of our goals, and that they are overall doing a good job in a very difficult situation.

We will work as quickly as we can to get this model in your hands and we hope you will love it.

Massive day for us @OpenAI:

- GPT-5.6 SOTA at ~everything & by far most token efficient

- Agents for everyone in the new ChatGPT app Work and Codex modes

- Work mode available on desktop (most powerful), web & mobile

- Ultra mode

- Sites out to everyone

- Artifact templates

Introducing GPT-Red

An internal automated red teamer on a mission to find our models’ prompt injection vulnerabilities at scale, helping us build stronger defenses before wider deployment.

On file deletions. We’ve investigated a handful of reports where GPT-5.6 unexpectedly deleted files.

What we have found is that this most commonly occurs when:

- Full access mode is enabled and codex is run without sandboxing protections, including without auto review being enabled

- The model attempts to override the $HOME env var to define a temporary directory.

- The model makes an honest mistake and mistakenly deletes $HOME instead.

This is of course not how we want the system to behave, even when a user operates the model in full-access mode without the safeguards of our sandbox or without using auto review which checks for these kinds of high risk actions and rejects them.

We are taking steps to mitigate this risk including by updating the developer message, guiding more users towards safer permission modes, and adding additional harness safeguards. Even though this happens extremely rarely, we’ll share a detailed post-mortem in the coming days that goes into more details and what we are doing to minimize risks further.

GPT-5.6 Sol for resolving 100+ year old conjectures.

Wild that this level of intelligence can be accessed by and is available to empower everyone!

GPT-5.6 Sol for cybersafety:

We're releasing a new model (GPT-5.6-Cyber), and expanding Daybreak to help put frontier intelligence in defenders hands: https://t.co/cgqlzHY8YO

As we continue to push the frontier of capabilities while improving efficiency, we're dropping API and credit pricing of GPT-5.6 Sol by over 20% for the next 3 months. https://t.co/UoTb3hcB2t
