ChainThink report, August 13: According to sources cited by WIRED, the Trump administration's new artificial intelligence guidelines are set to be revised, with plans to expand regulatory oversight over AI models.

This month, the White House announced it has established a framework under which frontier AI models developed by U.S. labs will undergo federal safety testing prior to public release. The framework remains undisclosed, and reportedly there are currently no plans for public disclosure.

Currently, the framework only covers proprietary models developed by companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI. A White House official revealed that in the coming months, the framework is expected to also encompass open-source models;

if an open-source model achieves frontier-level capabilities comparable to Anthropic’s Mythos or OpenAI’s GPT-5.6, it will likewise be subject to pre-release testing.
