June 23 (Reuters) - The Trump administration is pressing Meta (META.O), opens new tab to submit ​its AI models for voluntary review, ‌which would allow the government to evaluate its abilities and vulnerabilities, the New York Times reported ​on Tuesday, citing four people familiar with ​the confidential request.

The request was made ⁠in emails with the social media giant, ​the report said, as the administration steps up ​oversight of the AI industry.

Earlier this month, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to suspend access to its most ​advanced AI models for foreign nationals, ​citing national security concerns.

"We share the administration's goal of ‌advancing ⁠U.S. leadership on robust and secure frontier AI. While we are working through the details, we hope to sign the agreement soon," ​Meta told ​Reuters in ⁠an emailed response.

The U.S. Commerce Department did not immediately respond to ​a Reuters request for comment.

Meta is ​the ⁠only major U.S. developer of AI technology that has not reached an agreement to ⁠voluntarily ​share its models with the ​federal government for review, according to the report.
