Roughly 20 customers have been cleared so far, and the move is described as a phased release with safeguards. The development comes amid broader policy scrutiny of AI and follows Anthropic’s temporary shutdown of its Fable project and ongoing talks about oversight and potential public stakes in AI firms, with OpenAI pursuing its own strategic steps in this regulatory environment.
