Summary

The Frontier Model Forum is an industry-supported non-profit comprising major AI companies (Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI) focused on advancing frontier AI safety and security. Its core mandates include identifying best practices, advancing independent safety research, and facilitating information sharing across government, academia, civil society, and industry. It also produces technical reports on topics like frontier capability assessments for CBRN and cyber risks.

Key Points

  • Industry coalition of leading AI labs (Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Meta, Amazon) working collectively on frontier AI safety.
  • Three core mandates: identifying best practices/standards, advancing safety science/research, and cross-sector information sharing.
  • Publishes technical reports on frontier capability assessments including CBRN weapons, cyber threats, and autonomous behavior risks.
  • Acts as a coordination body between industry, government, academia, and civil society on public safety and national security risks from AI.
  • Focuses on developing shared threat models, evaluation frameworks, and mitigation strategies for the most advanced AI systems.

## What the Frontier Model Forum does

The Frontier Model Forum is an industry-supported non-profit focused on addressing significant risks to public safety and national security.

We have three core mandates:

1. **Identify best practices** and support standards development.
2. **Advance science** and independent research.
3. **Facilitate information sharing** among government, academia, civil society and industry.

## Technical Report: Frontier Capability Assessments

Frontier capability assessments are procedures conducted on frontier models with the goal of determining whether they have capabilities that could increase risks to public safety and security, such as by facilitating the development of chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) weapons, advanced cyber threats, or some categories of advanced autonomous behavior.

This report discusses emerging industry practices for implementing Frontier Capability Assessments. As the science of these assessments is rapidly advancing, this overview represents a snapshot of current practices.
