# White House Finalizes Voluntary AI Release Standards With OpenAI, Google, Anthropic

> The White House is in the final stretch of negotiating a voluntary framework for how frontier AI models get released, working directly with OpenAI, Google and Anthropic, with an announcement expected around mid-July. At its core, the arrangement would give the federal government up to 30 days to review the national-security implications of a new model before it goes public. Beyond the review window, the framework is said to set benchmarks and testing timelines and to clarify the rules around domestic and international access. It formalizes something that has already been happening informally, as both Anthropic and OpenAI have gone through government review periods before recent launches. The word voluntary is doing a lot of work here. A cooperative, non-statutory approach can move faster than legislation and keeps the labs at the table, but it also depends on goodwill and lacks the teeth of a law like the one Illinois just passed. It captures the current US posture on AI: engaged and hands-on, yet still improvising the guardrails one handshake at a time.
