Trump signs AI executive order seeking 30-day government access to frontier models before release — voluntary framework will include classified benchmark to determine which models qualify

President Trump issued an executive order requesting that AI companies provide the government with a 30-day preview of their most advanced models before public release. This voluntary framework includes a classified benchmark to assess and determine which models qualify as "frontier" AI.
