Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI (founders); Amazon and Meta joined May 2024 · 26 July 2023
An industry club of six large AI companies that shares safety research and funds some external work. It has produced technical guidance but has no power over its members.
What it calls for
- Safety evaluations
- Transparency
- Alignment research
Scope
6 member companies (https://www.frontiermodelforum.org/membership/)
What actually happened
The FMF launched a $10M+ AI Safety Fund (Oct 2023) and publishes issue briefs on evaluations and bio/cyber thresholds (https://www.frontiermodelforum.org/). It has not admitted xAI, Mistral, or any Chinese lab, and its members were also the only companies scoring >=60% on the White House commitments audit (https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.08345). Looked for: any binding member standard or public compliance review - none; the FMF describes its outputs as best-practice sharing.
