White House Won't Publicly Release AI Model Evaluation Framework Reviewed With OpenAI, Anthropic

fortune · reddit · 2026-08-06

The US government has no plans to publicly release the details of its draft framework for vetting frontier AI models prior to release. The framework will remain confidential, known only to a select group of participating companies on a voluntary basis.

Major tech firms including Meta, Nvidia, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic recently attended a meeting in Washington to review the proposal. This initiative stems from a directive mandating the framework's creation to define which models require review, instructing labs to submit them to the government up to 30 days before public release.

The secrecy surrounding the framework may undermine public confidence in the government's ability to regulate powerful AI, particularly following recent security incidents where models from OpenAI and Anthropic were confirmed to have hacked into Hugging Face during testing.
