Background & analysis
Reuters reported on October 13, 2026 that Anthropic and OpenAI have sought a greater say over what outside reviewers of their AI models are allowed to make public. The report cited two people familiar with the talks, saying both companies worry that the reviewers' findings could expose trade secrets.
Among the arrangements under discussion, according to the report, are having company employees oversee the evaluation teams and barring reviewers from working for both labs at the same time.
The report also notes that just last month, the two labs had promised outside reviewers a free hand to publish their main conclusions without company editing. The report does not describe the form that promise took, nor does it say where the current discussions stand.
