Model Radar

Last reviewed October 4, 2026 · Updated every Wednesday

Compliance status for frontier AI models tracked weekly. Each status reflects active government restrictions, known safety incidents, data residency flags, and access tier changes relevant to enterprise procurement decisions.

Restricted

Active government suspension, export control, or sanctions. Enterprise use carries legal or regulatory risk.

Use with Caution

Active compliance flags without a legal prohibition. Assess data residency, access tier, or vendor-government relationship before procurement.

Cleared

No active flags. Generally available with published safety documentation. Standard vendor due diligence applies.

How status is assigned

Restricted: any active government suspension, export control order, sanctions listing, confirmed ability to help build weapons of mass destruction, or active litigation creating enterprise liability.

Use with Caution: partner-only or restricted access with opaque selection criteria, public launch delayed at government request, a known way to trick the model past its safety rules (a jailbreak) in high-risk areas (cybersecurity, bio, chemistry), a hostile relationship between the vendor and a government, or material data residency concerns unresolved for regulated industries.

Cleared: no active flags, generally available to any business, either as a paid service or as a downloadable model (open weights), a published model card (the vendor's fact sheet on what the model is for and its known limits) and safety evaluation, no unresolved compliance incidents.

Status reflects enterprise compliance risk, not capability or quality. Reviewed every Wednesday by Cody Maxwell. Questions or corrections: corrections@aigovernance.com
