Anthropic and OpenAI each submitted recommendations to California Governor Newsom, proposing different paths for how to halt high-risk frontier models. Anthropic advocates that the state attorney general, supported by independent evaluations, apply to courts to suspend model deployment, internal use, or continued development, and requires developers to publish risk reports at least every six months and pay into a state-managed joint fund to finance independent evaluators. OpenAI, by contrast, re
