Anthropic holds firm against the Pentagon after supplychain risk label
"I also want to apologize directly for a post internal to the company that was leaked to the press yesterday. Anthropic did not leak this post nor direct anyone else to do so - it is not in our interest to escalate this situation. That particular post was written within a few hours of the President's Truth Social post announcing Anthropic would be removed from all federal systems, the Secretary of War's X post announcing the supply chain risk designation, and the announcement of a deal between the Pentagon and OpenAI."
"It was a difficult day for the company, and I apologize for the tone of the post. It does not reflect my careful or considered views. It was also written six days ago, and is an out-of-date assessment of the current situation."
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei issued an apology for an internal company memo that was leaked to the press, which had criticized OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman for securing a Pentagon deal after Anthropic and the Department of War failed to reach an agreement. Amodei clarified that Anthropic did not leak the memo and has no interest in escalating the situation. He explained the post was written hastily within hours of the President announcing Anthropic's removal from federal systems, the Secretary of War's supply chain risk designation, and the Pentagon-OpenAI deal announcement. Amodei acknowledged the difficult circumstances but stated the memo's tone does not reflect his considered views and represents an outdated assessment from six days prior.
