PREPAREOpenAI limits new AI models to 'trusted partners' at request of U.S. government

OpenAI announced three new AI models — GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna — but is complying with a White House request to initially limit access to a "small group of trusted partners," with the Office of the National Cyber Director and OSTP driving the phased rollout. OpenAI stated it does not believe government-gated access should become a long-term default, but is working toward general availability in coming weeks.

PREPAREColorado Repeals and Replaces AI Act with Narrower Automated Decision-Making Statute

Colorado repealed SB 24-205 — the nation's first comprehensive state AI law targeting high-risk systems, originally effective June 30, 2026 — and replaced it with SB 26-189, a narrower statute focused specifically on automated decision-making technology with a new effective date of January 1, 2027. The repeal removes the imminent June 30 compliance deadline for enterprises operating in Colorado but leaves a growing patchwork of state requirements across California, Texas, Illinois, and New York.
