White House Plans to Bring Open AI Models Under Secret Prerelease Safety Testing
kimmonismus · x · 2026-08-13
The White House is expected to expand its AI oversight framework in the coming months to include open-source models, WIRED reports.
The current voluntary framework covers frontier closed models from labs like OpenAI and Anthropic. Open models will likely face a 30-day testing period before public release once they reach comparable 'frontier' capabilities. Officials are balancing the risk of giving closed labs a regulatory advantage against the risk of slowing down US open-model development.
