OpenAI is expected to roll out its advanced GPT-5.6 artificial intelligence model to a broader audience this week after receiving approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce, according to an Axios report published Tuesday that cited a person familiar with the matter.
The report said OpenAI plans to expand access to GPT-5.6 following additional safety testing and a series of meetings with U.S. government officials. The move would mark a significant step in the company’s latest AI deployment strategy after an earlier delay limited public availability of the model.
Reuters said it could not independently verify the Axios report. OpenAI, the White House, and the U.S. Department of Commerce did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the reported approval or the planned launch timeline.
The expected release follows OpenAI’s announcement last month that it had postponed the full public rollout of GPT-5.6 at the request of the U.S. government. Instead of making the model broadly available, the company initially provided access only to a select group of vetted partners whose identities were shared with federal authorities as part of the review process.
The reported approval suggests that the additional testing and government consultations have advanced, potentially clearing the way for a wider deployment of one of OpenAI’s most advanced large language models. While specific details about the review process have not been disclosed, the development highlights the growing role of government oversight in the release of powerful AI technologies.
A broader launch of GPT-5.6 is expected to draw significant attention across the artificial intelligence industry, where businesses, developers, and enterprises are closely monitoring the rollout of next-generation AI models. Increased availability could accelerate adoption across a range of applications, from enterprise productivity tools and software development to customer service and content creation.
Although OpenAI has yet to officially confirm the timing, the reported approval from the Commerce Department indicates that GPT-5.6 could become widely accessible in the coming days, marking another milestone in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
