OpenAI has released its most powerful GPT-5.6 models (Sol, Terra, and Luna) but only to trusted partners and organizations following a U.S. government request for limited rollout.

The U.S. government ban on Anthropic's powerful Fable and Mythos models has everybody spooked. That's why it's a little surprising that OpenAI, Anthropic's biggest rival, is slowly rolling out its latest and most powerful GPT models.

For smaller, everyday AI tasks, persistent agentic work, or partnering with more powerful cloud or local AI tools, small-scale local AI PCs can be ideal.
