VentureBeat reports OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol/Terra/Luna launched to only about 20 vetted partners "per US Gov," the same week Anthropic disabled Fable 5 and Mythos 5.

The most capable Claude tier is now government-gated. Let that sink in for a second. Not export-controlled to China, not restricted to enterprise. Gated by Commerce, for a U.S. company's U.S. customers. A June 26 letter from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick partially lifted t...
