Altman of OpenAI will introduce the next-generation AI model to U.S. officials; the U.S. AI review framework is expected to be completed within a few weeks.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman plans to visit Washington next week to brief Trump administration officials and members of Congress on the upcoming generation of artificial intelligence models. This visit comes as the United States accelerates the establishment of AI safety review mechanisms.
Chris Lehane, OpenAI’s global head of public affairs, said on Tuesday that Altman's visit coincides with U.S. officials drafting an AI safety review framework, which is expected to be completed in the coming weeks.
He stated that part of Altman’s meetings will focus on OpenAI’s new model series, including how these models will impact jobs and ways of working.
“We believe this model series will bring some very interesting capabilities, especially in workplace scenarios and in scaling up work.”
Lehane’s comments came just days after the release of the Kimi K3 model. This model is believed to be able to compete with top AI products such as those from OpenAI and Anthropic, which has raised market doubts about the sustainability of the U.S.'s leadership in AI and led to a sell-off in tech stocks.
Regulatory Framework Accelerates Formation, Independent Review Agency Plan Surfaces
The construction of America’s AI regulatory system is picking up speed. The Trump administration is evaluating the feasibility of establishing an independent regulatory agency, which would review AI models with industry involvement. A plan drafted with input from Treasury Secretary Bessant has been put under consideration, aiming to provide AI companies with clearer compliance expectations.
This plan is similar in direction to the idea presented by Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, last week. Hassabis is also in Washington this week meeting with policymakers to lobby for his regulatory vision.
The current regulatory discussions are happening amid growing dissatisfaction in Silicon Valley with the recent temporary and fragmented measures taken by the U.S. government. Last month, Anthropic was hit by American export controls and was forced to temporarily take down its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models.
Although OpenAI has not been subjected to similar public controls, it is reported to have made significant adjustments to its latest GPT-5.6 model at the government's request before release.
Congressional Legislation Stalls, OpenAI Seeks State-Level Pathways
With efforts to advance unified federal legislation facing uncertainty, OpenAI has begun exploring alternative pathways. Lehane stated that if Congress cannot establish nationwide AI governance standards, the company will promote states aligning with each other, effectively forming unified standards through “reverse federalism.”
“If Congress cannot establish these nationwide standards,” he said, “another route is what we call reverse federalism—encouraging different states to mirror each other.”
Currently, OpenAI is supporting a legislative proposal in Massachusetts that requires major AI developers to take further steps to identify catastrophic risks. Anthropic has also expressed support for this proposal.
