In short

If you sell large language models to US federal agencies, they must be truthful and not push ideologies like DEI, and contracts will require this.

If you sell large language models to US federal agencies, your models must be truthful and ideologically neutral, and contracts will require this with possible decommissioning costs if you don't comply.

The President orders federal agencies to buy only large language models that are truthful and ideologically neutral, not shaped by DEI. The order directs the Office of Management and Budget to issue guidance within 120 days and agencies to add these terms to new and existing contracts. It applies to federal procurement, not the private market.

Agencies must include terms in new federal contracts requiring the model to follow these principles, with decommissioning costs charged to the vendor if they don't comply.
Agencies must adopt procedures within 90 days of the guidance to ensure their models comply.
