A voluntary framework being finalized with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google would give federal agencies up to 30 days to review a new frontier model's national security implications before public release, with evaluation benchmarks classified and run by the NSA.

It builds on the June 2 executive order and follows CNBC reporting that Commerce Secretary Lutnick has been personally approving customer-by-customer access to GPT-5.6 Sol and Mythos 5.
