Collaborate with us Welcome back! The US government is vetting who gets to use OpenAI's next model.
GPT-5.6 ships to anyone, the White House wants to approve customers one at a time, a first for an American AI launch. Anthropic says China ran the largest theft of Claude on record. Apple is blaming AI for your pricier MacBook, and OpenAI published proof that its own staff barely chat with AI anymore, they delegate to it. In today's Generative AI Newsletter: OpenAI: Why does the government get a say in who uses GPT-5.6? Anthropic: How did Alibaba allegedly copy Claude 28 million times?
The White House restricts GPT 5.6, proving politics runs AI This is the most regulated AI launch ever. For the first time, the government gets a say in who uses an American AI model before it ships. The White House asked OpenAI to keep GPT-5.6 from the public and hand it out only to government-approved partners, one customer at a time. Officials reportedly rate GPT-5.6 as good at finding software holes as Anthropic's Mythos, the exact capability that got Anthropic's Fable banned two weeks ago, so Washington's favorite lab gets chaperoned instead.
OpenAI says it asked for this and everyone gets the model a couple of weeks later, which is true and beside the point. The government pulled a chair into any AI launch room, and that is not a chair anyone gives back. 5 days left to invest early in THE GTM accelerator GenAI Works owns the best distribution data out there.

Invest today In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the issuer and the terms of the offering, including the merits and risks involved.
Works, Inc. has filed a Form C with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its offering, a copy of which may be obtained here . China robbed Claude Anthropic told the Senate that Alibaba pulled off the biggest heist of Claude on record. Roughly 25,000 fake accounts, 28.8 million conversations between April and June, all to copy what the model knows. The technique, distillation, trains a cheap model on a smart one's answers until it learns the same tricks. Alibaba said nothing, so this is still an accusation.
A frontier model sold by the conversation can be copied one answer at a time, and cloning it costs a rounding error next to building it. Anthropic wants Congress to ban the practice, and it has caught this before, flagging DeepSeek, Moonshot and MiniMax running the same play in February. Apple is raising prices because of AI Your next MacBook costs more because of ChatGPT. Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices this week and blamed memory, with a MacBook Air now starting at $1,299, up $200. AI servers are eating the world's supply of fast memory, so prices have quadrupled in three quarters. Apple ate that for a while, and this week it stopped. iPhones, Watches and AirPods held their prices, because they barely use the memory a Mac needs.
Wall Street still winced and handed Apple its worst day in a year. For two years AI was something happening far away in a data center. Now it is a line on your receipt. OpenAI's own paper on how agents control 99.8% of work OpenAI studied its own staff and found they have basically stopped chatting with AI. Codex, its coding agent, now does 99.8% of the company's AI output and is the top tool in every department, Legal and Recruiting included.
Instead of asking questions, people hand over whole jobs. The busiest users run 60 hours of agent work a day across parallel bots. Read it with one eye open. This is OpenAI measuring OpenAI, the most AI-soaked company alive, using the tool it sells, so the numbers double as a sales pitch with footnotes.
The direction is real though. AI has already changed from the question you ask to the job you hand off. Tool of the Day: Clarify Most CRMs are where deals go to get forgotten. You close a call, mean to log it and never do.

Everything else you shouldn't miss Google made a free AI tutor : Its new study notebooks in the Gemini app quiz you to find your weak spots then build custom lessons to fix them, free and in every language. Google admits it is behind on coding : They told staff to "urgently bridge the gap" with Anthropic and rebuilt the Gemini coding team, after Google's own finance chief said Anthropic writes nearly all its code with AI while Google manages about half. A bill would make AI labs report breaches in 7 days : Texas Republican Nathaniel Moran introduced the AI Incident Reporting Act, which would force top AI developers to tell the Commerce Department within a week if a model is breached, stolen or starts dodging human control.
OpenAI may wait until 2027 to go public : Altman would rather delay the IPO than accept anything less than a $1 trillion valuation, even as shaky tech stocks make the timing harder.
