White House to Expand AI Policy to Include Open Models

The White House plans to expand its AI policy to include open models, sources indicate.

The White House is preparing to expand its artificial intelligence policy to include open models, according to reports from multiple outlets. This move would update an existing AI framework that currently focuses on closed models from developers like Anthropic and OpenAI. The expansion reflects an evolving approach to AI oversight by the White House.

Sources indicate that open models will be added to the framework once they achieve similar "frontier" capabilities as models such as Anthropic's Mythos-class and OpenAI's GPT-5.6. These models would then be subject to pre-release testing by the federal government. The current framework, which is not public, was announced this month and aims to test the most powerful models developed by US labs for safety before public release.

This expansion signifies the White House's ongoing efforts to regulate AI technology, a sector that has seen increasing power and sparked concerns. The administration is grappling with how to regulate AI, having previously tried to avoid it, and is now adapting its guidelines in response to the rapid development of AI models.
