Miner Collective Transition to AI: Mining Cost Inversion Nears $20,000, Bitcoin Sale Raises $7 Billion for Mining Power Transformation

According to US tech media outlet WIRED citing insiders, the Trump administration’s new artificial intelligence (AI) guidelines will be revised to expand oversight of AI models. The White House announced this month it has developed an AI framework requiring US labs developing cutting-edge AI models to undergo federal security testing prior to public release. The framework has not been made public, and there are no reported plans to release it. Currently, the framework only covers so-called closed-source models developed by firms including Anthropic and OpenAI. However, a White House official revealed that the framework is expected to also include open-source models in the coming months. In short, once open-source models reach the same "cutting-edge" capability level as Anthropic’s Mythos-class models and OpenAI’s GPT-5.6, they will be incorporated into the framework and subject to pre-release testing.
