An executive order allowing the government to evaluate AI models before release was delayed. The delay was attributed to dissatisfaction with the order’s language and concerns that it could hinder U.S. leadership. The proposed order would have required the Office of the National Cyber Director and other agencies to create a process for security evaluation prior to public release. The effort responds to worries raised by the release of Anthropic’s Mythos and OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 Cyber, which can quickly identify and exploit security vulnerabilities. A major sticking point was a requirement for AI companies to share advanced models with the government 14 to 90 days before launch. Trump said the current language could have blocked progress.
"President Donald Trump has delayed signing an executive order that would allow the government to evaluate AI models before they're released. Trump claimed he is not happy with the language of the order: "I didn't like certain aspects of it," he told the White House press pool. "We're leading China, we're leading everybody, and I don't want to do anything that's going to get in the way of that leading.""
"The anticipated executive order would have tasked the Office of the National Cyber Director and other agencies with developing a process to evaluate AI models for security before their release. This is partly in response to concerns from the release of Anthropic's Mythos and OpenAI's GPT-5.5 Cyber - both of which can quickly find and exploit security vulnerabilities."
"One of the key sticking points in the EO's language, per CNN, is a proposed requirement for AI companies to share advanced models with the government between 14 and 90 days ahead of launch. Trump said he was concerned that the EO's language today "could have been a blocker.""
