    Trump's June 2 AI Executive Order: The "Covered Frontier Model" Framework That Explains the Fable 5 Ban

    The White House's June 2, 2026 EO mandated a classified AI benchmarking process and a 30-day pre-release framework for "covered frontier models" within 60 days. Fable 5 launched June 9 — 7 days after the EO — with no government pre-brief. The June 12 ban was the mechanism for forcing cooperation the voluntary framework could not compel. Here is the full Section-by-Section breakdown and why it matters.
