On Thursday, the 9th, OpenAI unveiled ChatGPT Work. This is a version of the artificial intelligence (AI) developed by the company, specifically aimed at the work environment.
ChatGPT Work has the ability to perform various tasks directly in different applications and files used by users.
OpenAI confirmed that its new family of artificial intelligence, consisting of the Sol, Terra, and Luna models, will be available to the general public starting this Thursday, July 9th. Although the models were introduced two weeks ago, their access was initially limited to specific clients due to direct requests from the United States government.
The release of GPT-5.6 occurs after the Donald Trump administration removed the restrictions imposed on AI tools. This measure follows the permission granted to Anthropic, which restored the availability of Claude Fable 5 for all users. Both the new versions of Claude and ChatGPT had been restricted under justifications related to national security.
Initially, when GPT-5.6 was revealed, the company led by Sam Altman indicated that it would comply with the limitations, although it disagreed with a definitive solution. OpenAI had anticipated public availability in a few weeks, which has now materialized. According to the portal Axios, these restrictions were considered crucial by the US government due to the great potential of the technologies involved. Both Anthropic and OpenAI had already warned about the need for caution in using AI in cyberattacks.
After the launch of Claude Mythos Preview, a consortium of partner companies and the US government, through a project called Project Glasswing, gained restricted access to the new AI model, which was classified as excessively powerful for public use. Despite having been launched with restrictions, the Trump administration forced the removal of these barriers, allowing the product to be commercialized again the previous week.
In addition to the general availability of GPT-5.6, the company also introduced GPT-Live, a voice generation model aimed at making ChatGPT more natural. The new models include distinct specifications:
OpenAI informed that this family of AIs is close to the current GPT-5.5, which serves as the basis for the new GPT-Live. This voice model promises more human interactions, greater responsiveness, and clearer explanations, potentially even incorporating visual elements to assist the user in resolving doubts.
