OpenAI says powerful new model to launch publicly on July 9
ChatGPT maker OpenAI said its latest powerful artificial intelligence model series will be released to the public on July 9, as the U.S. government reportedly approved a broader launch.
The company's new offering GPT-5.6 and other cutting-edge AI models, including Anthropic's Mythos series, have drawn concern over their supposedly unprecedented ability to identify software vulnerabilities -- weaknesses in code that hackers can exploit.
OpenAI said in late June it had shared preview access to GPT-5.6 with a limited group of U.S.-only partners at Washington's request.
The GPT-5.6 series comprises three new models: Sol, the company's new flagship; Terra, a mid-range model for everyday work; and Luna, a fast, low-cost option.
