Sam Altman Says OpenAI Made 'Many Changes' to Its Models After Back-and-Forth With Commerce and Treasury Before Public Release
Altman confirmed OpenAI made 'many changes' during discussions with the Trump administration — including 'collaborative back and forth' with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — before shipping its newest models to the general public. This is the first explicit on-record acknowledgment that a frontier lab altered model behavior in response to executive-branch input prior to launch, with no published record of what changed. Separately Altman proposed donating 5% of OpenAI equity to a US sovereign wealth fund, with other labs contributing similar stakes.
