OpenAI is staggering the rollout of its newest and most powerful AI model after a request from the Trump administration. To get access to the new model, customers must first be cleared by the U.S. government, the company said on Friday.

The model, called GPT-5.6 Sol, is the flagship in a new tier of more advanced models that includes a more efficient model called Terra and its cheaper cousin Luna. OpenAI says that Sol is its strongest model yet, able to complete 50% of long-running professional tasks and tops all previous OpenAI models on coding capabilities. OpenAI said it hopes to make all three generally available in the coming weeks.
