The government now has a hand on who gets frontier AI. OpenAI restricted its new GPT-5.6 models to trusted US partners only, after the Trump administration made the request citing security concerns.

Also today: A fully autonomous Russian drone killed three Ukrainians. Semafor reports it ran on an Nvidia minicomputer barred from Russia but bought through resale markets.

The SEC is investigating trades behind steep losses at AI hedge fund Situational Awareness, and has subpoenaed Wall Street lenders.

That's today's Signal. Thanks for watching.
