President Donald Trump signed a June 2 executive order that sets up a voluntary framework for developers of covered frontier models to give the US government access for cybersecurity review for up to 30 days before release, while expressly rejecting any mandatory licensing or preclearance requirement. The order directs NSA, CISA, and NIST to build a classified benchmark for determining which models cross the covered threshold and creates an AI cybersecurity clearinghouse led by the Treasury Department. The framework closely echoes Anthropic's Project Glasswing, which gives vetted partners early access to Claude Mythos Preview to scan critical software for vulnerabilities.
