Assuming this stays the case (a big assumption), I'm glad to hear "both national security and civilian agencies appear to have roles in the EO's enforcement" The 90 day thing sounds maybe iffy but hard to know without much more detail

I'm sure none of this is set in stone yet, but Axios is reporting that the current version of the AI Executive Order calls for a voluntary framework where models that qualify as being covered under the EO (probably anything equal to or above Mythos capability level) will be submitted to the government for at least 90 days for safety testing before being cleared for public release.

During this period the government will provide access to certain companies and agencies so that they can prepare their infrastructure before the model is released.

This is not that different from what is already in place. The labs already voluntarily submit models for testing. They just don't make a big deal about it. In fact there is a good chance that the real reason Gemini 3.5 Pro was not released today is because it is currently being tested. It's just the 90 day minimum number that is new. Also, voluntary will probably end up being a lot closer to "voluntary".
