Google, Microsoft, and xAI agree to share AI models with US government for national security testing before deployment.
The Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) at the Department of Commerce announced on Tuesday that Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI will provide unreleased AI models to the US government for pre-deployment evaluation and risk assessment. The agreement fulfills a pledge made by the Trump administration to partner with tech companies to vet AI models for national security risks. Government scientists will assess capabilities and security vulnerabilities before the models are publicly launched.

The split, in one line
Most outlets frame this as a security vetting program; Al Jazeera uniquely ties it to Anthropic's Mythos model hacking concerns, while Reuters focuses on what the stress tests actually involve rather than the announcement itself.
