‘Baffling’: White House won’t publicly release AI model evaluation framework it reviewed today with OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft and others

The White House has decided not to publicly release its AI model evaluation framework, keeping details confidential and limiting access to select companies. Major tech firms like Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic attended a meeting to review the voluntary framework, which mandates a 30-day submission window for AI models before public release but lacks enforcement mechanisms. Critics, including Council on Foreign Relations Fellow Chris McGuire, have called the secrecy 'baffling' amid recent AI model security breaches.
