OpenAI Leans Toward Waiting Until 2027 for IPO, NYT Says

The Trump administration has directed OpenAI to stagger the release of its upcoming model, GPT-5.6, citing concerns over potential security risks. In response, the company plans to provide the technology to a select group of partners rather than launching it publicly. This intervention follows a similar move by Anthropic, which recently pulled its most advanced models due to regulatory pressure. The shift signals a new era of heightened federal oversight, where developers must prioritize restricted deployments over immediate, broad access to high-capability artificial intelligence.
