The White House is reportedly preparing to bring open AI models under its secret prerelease safety-testing framework. So yeah, its getting interesting.

WIRED says the voluntary framework currently covers frontier closed models from labs such as OpenAI and Anthropic. Open models are expected to join once they reach comparable capabilities, potentially facing a 30-day testing period before public release.

Officials are caught between two risks: excluding open models could create a government-approved advantage for closed labs; including them could slow US open-model development.
