Good news: OpenAI's GPT-5.6 has been released! 🥳
Bad news: 99.9% of users can't access it. 😥

While OpenAI has had to change their release approach due to increased government involvement in AI oversight, the majority of AI leaders are stuck in a new bind:

Sitting and waiting for AI access.

Since Anthropic's Fable fights with the U.S. government, the Trump admin has increased its regulatory oversight.

But don't sit and wait. Because when availability opens to all, your org will need to be ready. We'll help you understand the lay of the new land.
