Executive Summary
government has implemented an informal, 'ad hoc licensing regime,' delaying the public release of frontier AI models like OpenAI's GPT-5.6 and Anthropic's Mythos.
Access to these powerful models is now being granted on a limited, customer-by-customer basis to a select group of partners, sparking significant criticism for its lack of transparency and potential to widen the AI capability gap.
The policy uncertainty and access restrictions are driving a notable shift in the market, with enterprises increasingly looking to secure their own compute and adopt open-source models.
Despite policy turmoil, the underlying demand for AI hardware remains robust, as evidenced by Micron's strong earnings, suggesting the structural supply chain shortage for AI components will persist.
