There is a fight going on inside the White House over who gets to review the most powerful AI models before they are released and how much of that work the public gets to see. The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, citing unnamed sources, that Trump administration officials have directed the Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) to pause public reports on its AI model reviews while President Donald Trump’s latest AI executive order is implemented. CAISI is part of the Commerce Department and has become the federal government’s main AI testing unit. It works with companies to evaluate frontier models prior to release and shares information with the public about their capabilities. According to the Journal, the directive came amid growing concern that advanced AI models, including Anthropic’s Mythos, could be misused to assist with cyberattacks or the development of biological weapons. Anthropic initially held back a full public release of Mythos, instead giving access to a limited group of companies and organizations to look for security vulnerabilities. This week, the company released a public version with additional guardrails. The news also comes as the Trump administration, which has largely given the AI industry what it wants, is trying to figure out how much oversight it is willing to impose on AI labs.
