Trump Administration Plans 30-Day Government Review for Advanced AI Models; Framework Due Aug. 1

The Trump administration is advancing a regulatory framework that would require companies including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google to submit their most advanced AI models for a 30-day government review before public release. Derived from an executive order signed in early June, the framework is due by August 1. It aims to establish a standardized process for reviewing powerful AI models, particularly those capable of rapidly identifying cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Key disagreements include the definition of frontier models and whether open-source models should be exempt. The administration insists compliance is voluntary, but its credibility is questioned after imposing export controls on Anthropic.

Nvidia Plans $250 Billion Guarantee for OpenAI to Lease SoftBank's Ohio Data Center

Nvidia is in talks to provide OpenAI with a roughly $250 billion financing guarantee to help it lease computing power from a large data center project in southern Ohio developed by a SoftBank energy subsidiary. The 10-gigawatt facility relies on US government-controlled electricity and Japanese funding under a recent trade deal. Nvidia's guarantee would cover lease costs and debt financing but not its own chips. OpenAI has been in deep negotiations for weeks, while Anthropic, Microsoft, and Google have also contacted Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who oversees power allocation. Nvidia has already invested $30 billion in OpenAI. The arrangement, described as 'circular financing,' involves Nvidia's portfolio companies typically using its chips. Nvidia shares fell nearly 4% to a market value of about $4.8 trillion as of July 26, 2026.
