  > t basically bans models that can be finetuned to act as a biological weapon which is basically every model, llama, mistral etc First, no, it doesn't. Second, no model can be finetuned to act as a biological weapon. Third, if it did ban “basically every model” on the basis “can be finetuned to act as a biological weapon”, that would be very different than banning open models, and would be bad for OpenAI. The order directs the development of reporting requirements for thise developing models with certain capabilities within 3 months, and the development within government of risk mitigation strategies for certain risks within 4, 6, or 9 months, depending on the specific area of risk. It doesn't ban or “basically ban” any models. (It is possible, but far from certain, that on or more of the plans it calls on different agencies to develop might do that, but those would, in addition to the policy guidance in the EO, also need a statutory authority that provides power for the executive branch to issue a ban.)
