New US federal rule requires contractors to report AI models in 3 days; endpoint abstraction is the cheapest fix
AIFlow_ML · x · 2026-10-23
- The US federal procurement rule (FAR 52.204-30) binds civilian agencies and contractors at every tier: upon finding a covered AI product, you must report it within 3 business days and mitigate within 10. Hobbyists running weights locally are unaffected.
- The cheapest mitigation is architectural: put every model behind an OpenAI-compatible endpoint and keep a manifest (repo, hash, base model, license, trainer), so swapping a model becomes a config change rather than a rewrite.
