WASHINGTON, United States — The White House will host a meeting Tuesday with AI executives to discuss a new voluntary system of government review of the technology's most powerful models, an administration official said.

The official did not specify who will attend the discussions on the new regulatory regime outlined in an executive order that President Donald Trump signed on June 2.

The central provision of this framework allows companies such as OpenAI, Google or Anthropic to give the government access to their most powerful models for up to 30 days before planned release to the general public.

The order was triggered by concerns over Anthropic's Mythos model, which the AI startup initially refused to release publicly due to its ability to expose vulnerabilities in computer systems, including those of banks, governments and hospitals.

Mythos was eventually released, albeit with restrictions on its use.

But in June the Commerce Department ordered Anthropic to suspend all foreign access to its Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, citing national security concerns linked to a reported jailbreak — users successfully blowing past guardrails designed to contain them.

The company was forced to take both models offline entirely for more than two weeks before access was gradually restored.

The new AI assessment regime marks an about-face for the Trump administration, which had adopted a hands-off approach to AI development on grounds the government should not hinder innovation in the race with China to lead in the AI field.
