The White House is preparing to issue an executive order that would establish a voluntary framework for artificial intelligence companies to share their most advanced models with the federal government for review prior to public release. According to multiple reports, the order could be signed as soon as this week.

The proposed framework would ask developers of cutting-edge "frontier" AI models to provide access to their systems at least 90 days before launch. This would allow government agencies to conduct safety and security evaluations. The National Security Agency, the Office of the National Cyber Director, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency are expected to play key roles in deciding which models qualify for review and in conducting the assessments.

A primary motivation for the order is concern over the cybersecurity capabilities of new AI models. Recent releases, such as Anthropic's Mythos and OpenAI's GPT-5.5, have demonstrated an unprecedented ability to find and exploit software vulnerabilities rapidly. Officials want to understand these capabilities before they become widely available,...
