Under a framework reportedly nearing completion， frontier labs could give federal agencies access to new models for up to 30 days before releasing them to outside partners.

OpenAI， Anthropic and Google are already negotiating the rules together. The NSA and CAISI are expected to examine models for national-security risks， especially advanced cybersecurity capabilities.

The definition of a "frontier model" also remains unresolved， including whether open- and closed-weight models will be treated differently.
