I believe this article has omitted an incredibly important detail that others are reporting!

It is only exempting US based open weight models. This is, to my uninformed opinion, a ban on Chinese open weight models?

This would seem like the most likely given lining up of Trump anti globalism and the heavy lobbying by Anthropic and OpenAI to stop competition.

    Which other source(s)?

      Oh apologies, I had went and gotten a link and must have forgotten to paste, this one from WSJ though I saw others on reddit earlier as well:

      https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/white-house-s-ai-gui...

      Btw, if you want to 'verify' any of this, seems we can't? The axios article in OPs link says this will not be made public.

        Axios has lost a lot of credibility as of late. Seems like they're quite willing to journalism wash anything the current dministration tells them.

        Thanks. The language in that article is a bit unclear/contradictory, but my read of it was actually the only the big 3 U.S. labs would be subject to it for now:

        > only makers of closed, proprietary U.S. models that demonstrate state-of-the-art capabilities in cybersecurity and hacking based on performance benchmarks would have to voluntarily submit those models to the government for testing before they are released

        (Separate from who is affected, even the language around “having to” “voluntarily” submit seems contradictory - if you “have to” submit then it isn’t ‘voluntary’.)
