BREAKING: U.S. government will decide who gets access to GPT-5.6
OpenAI will release GPT-5.6 only in a limited preview to a small group of partners.
Sam Altman told staff the government would be "approving access customer by customer."
Commerce Sec Lutnick personally called Altman warning: don't launch without approvals from other agencies.
A de facto licensing regime.
It’ll be interesting to see how this is handled moving forward, seems like a slippery censorship slope.
Of course it was probably inevitable. Can’t let the general public have too much power
Bad apples, why we can’t have nice things, & all that

Can we at least do something like this?

2 tiered access to AI is about the least surprising thing ever

Pretty expected after the Mythos debacle.

Makes you wonder if these tools might becoming too powerful.
Is this just a cyber security issue?

Poor AI companies. They kept hyping that their AI is "too dangerous" and then don't understand what happened when someone in the government took them for their word.

Gonna be net neutrality on steroids.

We ALREADY have various committees and govt offices that dictate sensitive industry activities.
This probably falls under the Bureau of Industries and Security.
This does not curtail the development, which is what they wanted to do under Biden. It merely wants to ensure it does not run through some NGO, give them source code and it ends up with the chini.
In the infamous words of that scene in Secretariat "Let him run Ronny let him run".....just make certain he stays on our track
As a sidenote CFIUS which controls the sale of tech to foreign entities under Bill Clinton allowed the sale of guidance tech to the chinese which advanced them a decade. Not to be outdone Hillary sold Uranium One.
So yeah we need a little guidance on who gets the tech.

According to Gen Stanton, they are MAJOR cyber security threats.

Not good when no one knows what is under the hood of these things
The people that make the product can't even fully explain what it is

DeepSeek 100% caused this.
As much as the companies complain, they want a reason to restrict Chinese access to their top models.
It takes 5-6 months for a major version to release, it takes less than that to rip it off.

It's at least a cyber security issue, but there are probably other reasons as well.

The problem is that Chinese nationals, and their progeny with US citizenship, work for American tech companies, and their consultants/contractors, already.

Rip it off, exploit it, bypass guardrails, you name it. LLMs are a security nightmare both by what they can output and by their very fundamental nature of being easily jailbroken.
I wouldn’t be surprised if GPUs, in their physical form, got deemed a national security risk in the near future. There’s a good bit of emergent research happening on this topic that is very interesting.
It has to do with the heteroscedasticity and homoscedasticity of the manifolds generated by LLM architectures when computed by GPUs.
Even though LLMs produce probabilistic output vectors, the extremely limited and deterministic instruction set native to GPU ALUs means the map of an LLM can be easily discerned and manipulated. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.
In layman’s terms, imagine the most complex maze possible. Billions of turns, trillions of choices needing to be made. On the surface, this maze would seem impossible. But then if I told you the solution to the maze was just always choose two left turns followed by a right turn. Now imagine you are a bad actor trying to exploit the maze. Easy.
This is essentially a GPU. Billions of transistors but each ALU laid out exactly the same and only an extremely limited set of instructions available. Very easy to exploit.

In a defined maze, I read a book in the 80s that was basically, just keep turning left, and you'll get out of a maze. Do you have a link to research abstracts which describe what you're talking about? I'm interested.

That’s good to know. Appreciate them looking out.

Its all about data, we kind of know what everyone is doing.
There's nothing those Chinese spies really know compared to the data they need to train.
Algorithms are secondary right now to labeled training data.
