White House Takes Control Over Access to Cutting-Edge AI Models

The Trump administration has taken over the responsibility of deciding which companies and organizations can access advanced AI models developed by Anthropic and OpenAI, according to sources cited by CNBC. Previously, these AI labs had the autonomy to manage who could use their frontier models. Anthropic managed access to its Mythos cybersecurity model through Project Glasswing, while OpenAI controlled its own distribution independently.
