TL;DRThe White House completed its voluntary AI framework on time but will not disclose its contents. Benchmarks and model thresholds are classified. OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic reviewed a draft. A staff-level meeting is Tuesday.
The White House said on Monday it met its deadline to complete a voluntary framework for evaluating advanced AI models. It will not say what the framework contains, who has seen it, or when companies will start using it. “The voluntary framework outlined in the June 2nd executive order was complete by the deadline,” a White House official said. “Discussions with industry about next steps are underway.”
The framework gives the government a structure for determining whether AI models under development would be covered by the June executive order, which created a 30-day pre-release review window for frontier models. The benchmarks used to assess cyber capabilities are classified. The threshold for which models are covered is also classified, shared only with developers “as appropriate.” The framework itself is not designated as classified, but the White House is not making it public. “Just because things are unclassified that doesn’t mean we are going to broadcast them to everyone,” the official said.
