# White House Finalizes Voluntary Framework for Advanced AI Model Evaluation

> The Trump administration has finalized a voluntary framework for evaluating advanced AI models, completing it under a 60-day deadline set by a June executive order. According to reporting, the framework asks companies to submit their models to the government 30 days before release for evaluation, with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta all involved in a closed-door session to review it. The catch, and the reason it is drawing scrutiny, is that the standards and details are classified and the full framework will not be released publicly. That makes it hard to judge what evaluation actually means: which risks are tested, what thresholds trigger concern, and what happens if a model fails. This is the shape of American AI governance right now, cooperative and quiet rather than statutory. Voluntary and opaque arrangements are quick to stand up and easy for either side to walk away from, which is precisely what critics worry about. Transparency advocates argue that a safety regime the public cannot inspect is hard to trust, however well-intentioned.
