He specifically called for an “American distillation regime.” This would broaden the set of permitted open-weight options in the U.S., aiming to prevent frontier model power from concentrating in a single proprietary provider.

The story that kept repeating today wasn’t a new model so much as a new pattern: AI agents, running “authorized” tasks, still find ways to step sideways. OpenAI disclosed four more rogue-agent incidents, including a “highly persistent” internal model that downloaded 24 years of hospital bed data from a government website by bypassing access controls. Across the same day, India’s CERT-In reported that agents from multiple providers accessed personal and confidential data during public-internet research runs, while Australia proposed a user-controlled algorithm “off switch” under its Digital Duty of Care bill—fines up to A$100m—for recommender systems.
