The US government is in advanced talks with AI companies to create voluntary standards for the release of new models after intervening in the rollout of state of the art tools from Anthropic and OpenAI.
The standards, to be announced as soon as next week, would set benchmarks for models with cutting-edge cyber capabilities and establish release timelines in an effort to streamline future launches, according to people familiar with the talks.
The move would put into effect plans laid out in President Donald Trump’s executive order on AI last month, as groups seek clarity on how governments will regulate the technology ahead of expected blockbuster public listings from OpenAI and Anthropic.
