Trump's AI order grants government 30-day access to frontier models
trump signed an order requiring federal access to ai models 30 days before release, halving the originally proposed window. this signals the us government's move to monitor frontier capabilities like claude mythos and gpt-5.5 for cyber threats.
president donald trump signed a revised executive order requiring ai companies to provide the federal government with exclusive access to advanced models 30 days before public release, reducing the timeline from a previously proposed 90 days. the directive establishes a voluntary, classified process to identify frontier models, such as anthropic's claude mythos and openai's gpt-5.5, allowing officials to detect cyber risks against critical infrastructure. the move marks the first major ai regulation of trump's second term and follows internal debates where skepticism from aides like david sacks was overcome by concerns over national security. with this domestic framework established, the administration can now proceed with talks aimed at creating a similar cross-border monitoring agreement with china.
