White House to Include Open AI Models in Secret Prerelease Safety Testing
Left-Hotel904 · reddit · 2026-08-13
The US government is preparing to bring open AI models under the White House's prerelease safety-testing framework, according to WIRED. Currently, the framework primarily covers frontier closed models from labs like OpenAI and Anthropic.
Sources indicate that open models could face a 30-day testing period before public release once they reach comparable capabilities. Officials are caught in a dilemma: excluding open models might create a government-approved advantage for closed labs, while including them could slow down US open-model development.
