OpenAI and Anthropic's latest AI models underwent U.S. government vetting under Trump's AI regulation approach before release, involving export controls, licensing discussions, and safety reviews. The White House scrapped Biden-era reporting requirements but flagged concerns like Anthropic's jailbreaking vulnerability, whilst a voluntary framework for AI developers is due 1 August.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building frontier AI models, the Trump administration has replaced public reporting with private government sign-offs and export controls—your release schedule now runs through federal agencies, not your own safety process. The voluntary framework lands 1 August: miss it and you're suddenly non-compliant.
