OpenAI and Anthropic may need the express approval of the Government for the selection of their first partners in the future. The United States Government had previously participated in the screening of the first GPT-5.6 partners, and such ad hoc arrangements might later be incorporated into a unified mechanism. The White House denied the Government ' s approval authority to the CNBC, stating that the participation of enterprises in testing remained voluntary and that it was ultimately up to the business to decide when and to whom the model would be published。
