- On Tuesday, staff from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, Nvidia and Microsoft attended a private meeting with White House officials to review the AI framework
- The order also left an August deadline for determining the framework, which the White House and AI companies now appear intent on keeping to themselves

Summary
On Tuesday, staff from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, Nvidia and Microsoft attended a private meeting with White House officials to review the AI framework. The Trump administration and tech industry’s opaque process for how they will check if new AI models threaten global cybersecurity has left numerous questions about how the framework will operate. The White House, OpenAI and Anthropic did not respond to a request for comment. Discussions over creating an AI cybersecurity framework began earlier this year after the release of Anthropic’s Mythos model, which the company withheld from public release in April over concerns that it could be used to hack into IT and financial systems.
