"Well, I fired Anthropic. Anthropic is in trouble because I fired [them] like dogs, because they shouldn't have done that, Trump told Politico. Trump on Friday ordered the entire federal government to cease using Anthropic's tech, which the state and treasury departments have begun, according to their respective heads."
"Anthropic's products, which include the popular Claude chatbot and coding assistant, are integrated into Palantir's Maven system, a newly vital tool of military intelligence that was used in recent strikes on Iran, according to the Washington Post."
"Anthropic last week refused a deal with the Pentagon over concerns its model could be used for domestic mass surveillance or fully autonomous weapons."
"From his end, Altman acceded to employees in an internal message this week that the company would have no control over how the military used OpenAI's technology."
Trump announced he terminated Anthropic's relationship with the US military, ordering federal agencies to stop using the company's technology. However, negotiations between the Pentagon and Anthropic have simultaneously resumed regarding military use of the company's AI systems. Anthropic's Claude chatbot is integrated into Palantir's Maven military intelligence system used in recent operations. CEO Dario Amodei and Pentagon undersecretary Emil Michael are discussing the contract despite reportedly disliking each other. Anthropic previously refused a Pentagon deal over concerns about domestic mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. Meanwhile, OpenAI secured a military contract after Anthropic's initial rejection, with CEO Sam Altman acknowledging the military would have unrestricted control over the technology's use.
