A draft executive order expected to be signed soon would establish a voluntary 90-day pre-release model-disclosure framework with the federal government. AI developers would provide pre-release access to powerful models 90 days before public launch. Critical-infrastructure operators, including banks, would receive pre-release access as well. Political pressure from parts of the MAGA base has pushed the order toward tighter security review of frontier AI systems. Steve Bannon and Amy Kremer have pressed for mandatory security review, citing changes in the cyber-threat landscape from recent frontier model launches. The final structure reflects a compromise between industry advisers concerned about competitiveness and national-security voices seeking stronger requirements. The draft language does not impose civil or criminal penalties for non-participation.

U.S. News & World Report's read of the order describe a coalition inside the broader MAGA constituency, including former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and right-wing political organiser Amy Kremer, who have been pressing the White House to require mandatory security review of the most capable frontier models."
"The voluntary structure is a deliberate middle-ground compromise inside the West Wing. Industry-facing advisers including David Sacks have pushed back against the mandatory-disclosure framing on competitiveness grounds; Bannon-Kremer-aligned national-security voices have pushed in the opposite direction. The voluntary-90-day-window structure is the result of that internal negotiation. The order does not, on the available draft language, impose civil or criminal penalties for non-participation, though declining to participate is framed as a public posture t"
