Trump’s AI executive order looks like it’s all about regulation on the surface, but in reality it’s hitching big names like OpenAI and Anthropic to the war machine—export controls have been given a new disguise and relabeled as “benchmark evaluations,” and the industry chaos isn’t likely to be just starting, either.

Coin World News, according to a report by the Financial Times, the U.S. government is in in-depth consultations with leading AI companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, and plans to introduce a series of voluntary standards for AI model releases as early as next week. Informed sources revealed that this move aims to implement the AI executive order signed by Trump last month, establishing a benchmark evaluation process and release timetable for models with "frontier" cybersecurity capabilities. Previously, due to the Trump administration's export controls on Anthropic's latest models and restrictions on OpenAI's releases, causing chaos within the industry, the new standards aim to replace previous temporary intervention measures by clarifying access rights, classification benchmark evaluations, and review timeframes.
