Pentagon ‘Close’ to Punishing Anthropic AI as ‘Supply Chain Risk’ over Claude’s Military Use Terms: Report
The Pentagon plans to label Anthropic a supply chain risk after months of disputes over usage limits that restrict military operations, despite Claude’s deployment in classified missions.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is close to cutting business ties with Anthropic after contentious negotiations, a senior official said.
- After months of contentious negotiations, Anthropic sought safeguards to block mass surveillance of Americans and prevent fully autonomous weapons, while the Pentagon insisted on using Claude for all lawful purposes.
- Claude is already embedded in classified military systems and was used during an early January raid, while the $200 million contract is a small part of Anthropic's $14 billion annual revenue.
- A senior Pentagon official warned, `It will be an enormous pain in the ass to disentangle, and we are going to make sure they pay a price for forcing our hand like this`, if Anthropic is designated a supply chain risk, forcing companies to certify they don't use Claude.
- Pentagon's hardball with Anthropic sets the tone for talks with OpenAI, Google and xAI, as a senior official said the other three likely accept the 'all lawful use' standard.
