The White House said on Monday, August 3, 2026, that it met the deadline set by the June 2, 2026 executive order on advanced AI to complete a voluntary framework for evaluating advanced AI models, but declined to disclose the framework's contents, who has reviewed it, or when companies will begin using it. The framework is intended to give developers a structure for engaging the government to determine whether models under development fall in scope, and to spell out confidentiality, cybersecurity, insider-risk, intellectual-property, use and nondisclosure requirements applying when the government gets pre-release access to models for up to 30 days, plus which "trusted partners" receive early access. Anthropic, OpenAI and Google gave feedback on a draft; an official said discussions involve "many more" firms. The executive order classifies the cyber-capability benchmarking process and the coverage threshold; the framework itself was not designated classified.
