Stratechery weekly digest covering Apple regulatory challenges in Europe and miscellaneous tech commentary.

Less than 24 hours after news broke that OpenAI would stagger its next model release at the request of the Trump administration, that model, GPT-5.6, is here. On Friday, the company unveiled the limited preview of its new GPT 5.6 model suite: Sol, the flagship; Terra, a medium-tier model for "high-volume work"; and Luna, a "fast and affordable" everyday model. OpenAI says it's especially skilled at coding, cybersecurity, and biology, as well as staying focused during long-horizon agentic AI tasks. Per million tokens, GPT-5.6 Sol is priced at $5 input / $30 output (nearly half the cost of Anth...

As context windows grow longer, moving large model weights efficiently becomes critical to performance. A common way to address this is quantization, an optimization technique that compresses model weights into a smaller data format. One quantization format is NVFP4, an innovative 4-bit floating point introduced with NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. That’s the approach behind our new Nemotron 3… Source
