The information comes from social media posts summarizing the filing, with few specifics available; the request reportedly extends beyond just freezing model development, though the exact scope is unclear. A preliminary injunction is an emergency remedy issued before a case is decided on its merits, so this represents a request for restrictions during litigation rather than a final ruling. ## Content Florida's attorney general has asked a court for a preliminary injunction against OpenAI. As described in the posts, the request would bar the company from advancing new AI models unless they come with protections approved by a third party. The posts give few details, and I don't want to invent any. @rohanpaul_ai summarized the ask this way: Florida wants a court to stop OpenAI from moving forward with new models absent third-party-approved safeguards. His post also says the request goes beyond freezing model development, but the excerpt cuts off before saying what else it covers, so I can't tell you. @TheZvi flagged the filing in a post that began "well when you put it like that," which reads as a reaction to how starkly the request is worded once you spell it out. @matthew_d_green reshared it, and @rohanpaul_ai reposted his own summary. A preliminary injunction is an emergency-style remedy. A court can order it before a case is decided, so this isn't a ruling on the merits. The state is asking for an order that would restrict what OpenAI does while the litigation proceeds. Whether a court would grant relief this broad against a model developer is unclear, and I wouldn't guess. The filing itself is the thing to read, since the posts here only point to it. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [OpenAI responds to White House executive order on AI governance](https://daily.dev/posts/openai-responds-to-white-house-executive-order-on-ai-governance-xgqrsukho) · CSO Online · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [42 state AGs probe OpenAI days after IPO filing](https://daily.dev/posts/42-state-ags-probe-openai-days-after-ipo-filing-1uocuunqe) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [The White House is asking OpenAI to slow roll the release of its new model over safety concerns](https://daily.dev/posts/the-white-house-is-asking-openai-to-slow-roll-the-release-of-its-new-model-over-safety-concerns-iojxu6zsb) · TechCrunch · 13 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#openai](https://daily.dev/tags/openai), [#ai-safety](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-safety), [#ai-regulation](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-regulation) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/florida-attorney-general-asks-court-to-block-openai-from-advancing-new-models-without-third-party-ap-kai5novye) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Florida attorney general asks court to block OpenAI from advancing new models without third-party approved protections","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/florida-attorney-general-asks-court-to-block-openai-from-advancing-new-models-without-third-party-ap-kai5novye","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/florida-attorney-general-asks-court-to-block-openai-from-advancing-new-models-without-third-party-ap-kai5novye"},"datePublished":"2026-09-30T01:29:34.252Z","dateModified":"2026-09-30T01:30:02.935Z","description":"Florida's attorney general has petitioned a court for a preliminary injunction against OpenAI, seeking to bar the company from advancing new AI models unless...","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Collections","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Collections","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--fk_6ycEi--/f_auto,q_auto/v1780996001/logos/collections?_a=BAMAMiWQ0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/florida-attorney-general-asks-court-to-block-openai-from-advancing-new-models-without-third-party-ap-kai5novye","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"openai,ai-safety,ai-regulation","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Collections","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Florida attorney general asks court to block OpenAI from advancing new models without third-party approved protections"}]} ```
