"Some leaders inside the federal government want Anthropic AI for warfighting and cyber defense, believing it positions the U.S. 6-12 months ahead of China in AI for national defense."
"An Anthropic court filing included an email from Emil Michael stating, 'we are very close here' to an agreement on language, dated shortly after Hegseth labeled the company a 'Supply-Chain Risk to National Security.'"
"One possibility is for Anthropic to agree to parameters ensuring lawful AI use and to support policies like Trump Accounts, with Brad Gerstner potentially acting as a middleman."
