AI companies are 'begging the government to regulate them' says JD Vance, but nobody seems willing to actually slow the AI race

US Vice President JD Vance called AI companies' calls for regulation 'strange' and like a 'Trojan horse'. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google DeepMind supported the idea of slowing the frontier but did not name a single model whose release they would delay.

• Amodei called for 'restraining the frontier', supported by Altman and Hassabis
• No company named a model whose release would be delayed due to the initiative
• Anthropic released Claude Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1, OpenAI — GPT-6 Astra
• Vance: calls for regulation look like a 'Trojan horse'
