OpenAI rolls out GPT-5.6 after government green light — and announces ‘ChatGPT Work’
For builders, the public release of GPT-5.6 and ChatGPT Work opens up new possibilities for integrating advanced AI into automated workflows, especially for non-technical users who can now leverage Codex's capabilities without writing code.
What happened
OpenAI has received regulatory approval from the Trump administration to publicly release GPT-5.6, following a limited preview period restricted to government-approved organizations. The model was initially caught in regulatory uncertainty, but the green light allows broader access. Simultaneously, OpenAI announced ChatGPT Work, a new AI agent combining ChatGPT with Codex capabilities. ChatGPT Work targets non-technical users, enabling them to leverage Codex for tasks beyond coding, such as gathering context from apps, files, and workflows. It is powered by the GPT-5.6 model suite comprising Sol, Terra, and Luna. The rollout marks a significant expansion of OpenAI's enterprise and consumer offerings, bridging the gap between conversational AI and practical workflow automation.
