So, for example, if you look at GPT 5.6 SOL, the OpenAI model, on June 26th, that was opened up to trust.

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.

And there are AI experts in something called the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, or or Casey.

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.

But it really it isn't clear to me how that's going.

And a lot of people I speak to say that it's really a complete mess at this point.

Chinese AI labs are really storming ahead.

Those models are six to ten months behind their American equivalents.

So like they're not up there with, you know, Smithos or with 5.6 soul, but they are getting increasingly good.
