- The White House asked OpenAI and Anthropic not to share their new artificial intelligence models with the U.K. government's testing body (AISI) until the United States reviews them, according to sources.
- Anthropic appears to have agreed to the White House's request, while OpenAI's response is not specified in the available reporting.
Why it matters: The U.K.'s AISI was set up to test frontier AI models before deployment, so withholding models from a U.S. review-first gate breaks the transatlantic testing pipeline that policymakers in London designed to catch dangerous capabilities. This signals that the U.S. wants to act as the sole gatekeeper for its labs' frontier releases, even on allied soil.
