What's the difference between OMB M-25-21 and M-25-22?

01 ·

Answer.

Federal directive · OMB M-25-21/22.

M-25-21 governs federal agencies' own use of AI — it defines high-impact AI and the minimum practices (impact assessment, pre-deployment testing, monitoring, human oversight). M-25-22 governs how agencies acquire AI — anti-lock-in, performance and risk-monitoring contract clauses, and protection of government data. Both issued 2025-04-03 and replaced the prior M-24-10/M-24-18 pair. Planisphere produces measurement evidence relevant to the testing and monitoring obligations in both, without acting as a contracting or authorization authority.

When OMB M-25-21/22 asks for proof, hand over records — not assurances.

record the duty · seal the receipt · verify offline

Planisphere records each duty event — an output marked, a disclosure shown, a review made — and seals it into a receipt that verifies offline against our published keys. You send hashes, never content. A record is evidence a third party can check; it is not a certification and not a legal determination.
