NIST releases a revised or final version of the AI Standards Zero Draft following the public comment period.
Public comments on the Zero Draft close 16 September 2026. A subsequent release will reflect stakeholder input on federal artificial intelligence guidance.
Across 6 frontier models answering independently, the panel leans yes: the median is 71%.
They do not agree: Qwen puts it at 82% and DeepSeek at 18%, 64 points apart. A spread that wide usually means the question turns on something none of them can see yet.
Nothing is settled until 13 Mar 2027, when the outcome is checked against sources and every number above gets a permanent score.

NIST typically releases revised drafts within months of comment closure, but 6 months is tight for a full revision cycle.

NIST rarely turns around revised drafts within 6 months; 2 days after comments close is far too soon for substantive revision.
