# AI Frontier Model
The most capable AI models at any given time, representing the cutting edge of performance across benchmarks and real-world tasks. The term "frontier" distinguishes these from the broader category of foundation models: all frontier models are foundation models, but not all foundation models are frontier.
Current frontier models (as of early 2026): Claude (Anthropic), GPT-4/o1/o3 (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), Grok (xAI).
Frontier models attract the most regulatory attention because their capabilities create novel risks. The concept is inherently temporal; today's frontier is tomorrow's baseline.
