OpenAI and Anthropic Limit New AI Models to Trump-Approved Customers During Cybersecurity Review

OpenAI and Anthropic are restricting access to their newest AI models following government cybersecurity reviews by the Trump administration. The concern centers on whether these powerful models could be misused to find software vulnerabilities (security flaws in code) that malicious hackers might exploit to attack critical computer systems, and both companies are releasing their models only to small groups of government-approved customers as a temporary measure.
