Trump Administration Collaborates with Anthropic and OpenAI on AI Model Evaluation Plan

Anthropic and OpenAI are collaborating closely with the Trump administration to finalize a federal plan for evaluating AI models. This plan aims to review frontier AI models for cybersecurity and national-security risks before their public release, as mandated by an executive order.

The executive order requires the creation of a classified benchmarking process and a framework that allows developers to grant the government access to advanced models up to 30 days before their release. Both companies have existing pre-release review agreements with the Commerce Department, which have been adjusted to align with the new AI Action Plan.

The collaboration between Anthropic, OpenAI, and the Trump administration indicates a shift from informal consultations to a more structured evaluation process.
