But to me, it looks about as voluntary as paying your taxes.
You can choose not to do it, but there are going to be some consequences if you don't.
There is a certain sense to it.
You want to exploit this window of superiority in particular ways without giving access to the model to every potential bad actor who would use it for nasty things.
The problem is, though, it's been such an opaque process.
It hasn't been clear what the rules are, and it hasn't been clear who gets special access.
So, for example, if you look at GPT-5.6 Sol, the OpenAI model, on June 26th, that was opened up to trusted partners.
And the same day,
America's government eased some of the export controls on Mythos 5, which was the anthropic model that, as I said earlier, had been completely effectively shut down.
So the models are now accessible again to some degree, but it's taken a while to get there.
And nobody really understands the exact criteria by which these things are being held back, restricted, opened up again.
And that makes life very, very difficult for the companies in understanding how their models are going to be out there in the world in the future.
Implementation is really messy.
There's not that much in-house expertise on cutting edge AI inside the American government at all.
The Commerce Department has been leading the implementation of policy, but I don't think it has very many AI experts involved.
And there are AI experts in something called the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, or CACI.
That body is a standards body.
It's not a regulation body.
That executive order I mentioned, that is supposed to create a process to judge which models need to be controlled and how they should be controlled.
And that should happen before August.
