OpenAI Has New AI Models. Here’s Why You Can’t Use Them
The White House asked OpenAI to delay the rollout of its GPT-5.6 AI models, two weeks after Anthropic had to take its most advanced AI models offline.
Get smart on it
OpenAI is delaying the public release of its next generation of AI models at the White House's request, instead first sharing them with a small set of government-preapproved customers before gradually expanding access. The delay matters because it represents an interim period where AI companies are working with the government on model releases without a formal voluntary framework yet in place, creating uncertainty for the industry. This follows a recent similar situation where another AI company had to take its most advanced models offline after receiving an export control directive from the White House, prompted by administration concerns about the cybersecurity capabilities of powerful new AI models.

DeepSeek released DSpark, a speculative decoding framework, with open-source checkpoints and training code. It is a serving optimization, not a new model. The checkpoints DeepSeek-V4-Pro-DSpark and DeepSeek-V4-Flash-DSpark reuse the existing V4 weights, with a draft module attached. The DeepSeek research team also open-sourced DeepSpec, an MIT-licensed codebase for training and evaluating speculative decoding drafters.
