The Trump administration has finalized a voluntary framework for evaluating new artificial intelligence (AI) models, with plans to discuss it at a meeting with industry partners on Tuesday. A White House official confirmed the framework's completion and the upcoming meeting, though details about its contents were not provided.

According to Axios, the administration finalized the AI framework as part of an executive order signed by President Trump in June. The directive aimed to enhance AI security and innovation by establishing a voluntary program for AI companies to share powerful new models with the government before public release. The executive order emphasized that the federal government does not want to stifle innovation "with overly burdensome regulation."

Representatives from Meta, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google have been invited to the meeting, as reported by The Information. The planned discussion comes days after Anthropic and OpenAI disclosed that their AI tools breached other companies' systems, raising concerns about potential cyberattacks facilitated by advanced AI models.

The framework allows participating developers to provide the government with access to new models for up to 30 days before making them available to other trusted partners. This early access is intended to help evaluate whether powerful models could be used to discover software vulnerabilities or carry out sophisticated cyberattacks. The White House has not publicly released the completed framework or detailed the metrics that will be used to test participating models.

The executive order directed several federal agencies, including the Treasury Department and the National Security Agency, to establish a classified benchmarking process for assessing models' advanced cyber capabilities. The order explicitly states that the program cannot be used to establish mandatory federal licensing or permitting requirements for new AI models.
