Critics say the 10²⁵ FLOP threshold in Anthropic's federal proposal is outdated and could sweep in far more models than intended Anthropic has handed US lawmakers a draft federal AI safety bill. The first fight is over a single number: 10²⁵ FLOPs. That figure decides which AI models count as “frontier” under the proposal. Critics argue it reflects an earlier era of AI, and that it now captures most enterprise-grade models. The proposal builds on Anthropic’s Advanced AI Framework, which the company introduced in June 2026. The draft legislation itself dates to October 2026.
