CAISI expands testing ties with Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI to evaluate frontier AI before release. The Center for AI Standards and Innovation, part of NIST, said it has signed new agreements with the three firms to conduct pre‑deployment evaluations and targeted research. These contracts build on earlier partnerships that were renegotiated under the Secretary of Commerce’s directives and the AI Action Plan. The agreements allow government evaluators to test AI models before they reach the market, and to assess them after deployment, including models with reduced safeguards. To date, CAISI has completed over 40 such evaluations. The TRAINS Taskforce, an inter‑agency group, will provide ongoing feedback and help shape best practices.
