Senate Democrats press Trump administration on access to advanced AI models

A group of Senate Democrats is pressing the Trump administration for answers about its policies surrounding American AI models following controversial decisions on AI regulations.

Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), Mark Warner (D-Va.), Christopher Coons (D-Del.) and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) on Monday wrote a letter requesting Trump administration officials to explain “the Administration’s current policy and approach to limiting access to advanced AI models.”

This comes after Anthropic was forced to remove two AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, to comply with a Trump administration directive restricting foreign nationals from using its latest systems due to security concerns.

Similarly, OpenAI also limited public access to GPT 5.6 after conversations with the Trump administration.
