{{first_name | Leader}}, welcome back.
AI companies usually want as many people as possible to use their newest models. OpenAI is taking the opposite approach this time. Find out why, along with tools, resources, and a prompt to turn goals into an actionable system. ⬇️
. Top News.
GPT-5.6 launched in three tiers. Sol is the flagship, built for premium use cases. Terra balances capability and cost for regular enterprise workloads. Luna is the budget option for high-volume, low-cost applications.
OpenAI isn't releasing this to the public. It's going to a limited group of partners first, in response to a US government request to phase access for safety and evaluation before wider distribution.
Anthropic's Mythos model is in a similarly limited preview right now. Two of the most capable AI labs in the world are both choosing staged rollouts over public launches at the same time, with government involvement shaping the pace.
The industry's most powerful models are no longer launching the way GPT-4 or Claude 3 did. They're going through controlled pilots with defense, finance, and large cloud customers first, with red-teaming and monitoring happening before broad deployment.
Expect cautious pilots and selective integrations rather than open access. The pricing tiers, API limits, and model behavior coming out of these partner programs will set the benchmark for what general availability looks like when it arrives.

. Prompt of the Day.
Turn goals into an actionable system
I want you to help me turn a goal or desire into an actionable, personalized system
First, ask me a few quick questions to understand what I want, why I want it, what’s blocking me, and what kind of structure works best for me
Then, based on my answers, design a simple but effective system that I can follow consistently
The system should:
- be specific and realistic
- include daily/weekly actions or rituals
- minimize friction and decision fatigue
- include tracking or reflection if useful
- be adaptable over time
Let's start the interview now. Ask your questions one at a time.P.S. Get more such prompts in the Prompting Playbook (free for you)
