New Delhi, June 27 (IANS). America’s leading Artificial Intelligence (AI) company Open AI has decided to limit the launch of its new GPT-5.6 models for now. The company said that the new AI models named ‘Sol’, ‘Terra’ and ‘Luna’ will initially be released as a limited preview only for some trusted partners. There are plans to make these widely available in the coming weeks.
According to Open AI, significant improvements have been made in the areas of reasoning, coding and cyber security in the new GPT-5.6 models. The company also revealed that before the launch, it had informed the US government about the capabilities of these models. The limited launch was then decided upon at the request of the government to create a comprehensive framework for evaluating advanced AI models under the recently issued Cybersecurity Executive Order.
The company clarified that these models will be made available on ChatGPT, API and Codex platforms in the next few weeks. However, Open AI says that it does not want this process of preview before launch by the government to become a permanent rule in the future.
Open AI has described ‘GPT-5.6 Sol’ as its flagship model for the most difficult scientific tasks. Terra is described as a balanced option for enterprise and developer work, providing the same capabilities as GPT-5.5 at almost half the cost. ‘Luna’ is described as the fastest and most economical model, designed for low-cost applications.
The company said ‘Soul’ will be available on Cerebras hardware for select customers from July and will operate at speeds of up to 750 tokens per second. It has features like maximum logical effort and ultra mode, with the help of which it will be able to complete complex coding, research and multi-step tasks more effectively.
Let us tell you that Cerebras Systems is a leading Artificial Intelligence hardware company.
Meanwhile, American AI company Anthropic has also received approval to make its powerful Mythos ‘5 model’ available again on a limited basis to certain trusted partners after resolving national security concerns. Two weeks before this, the US government had banned foreign citizens from giving access to ‘Mythos 5’ and ‘Fable 5’ models, citing security reasons.
