The government has stopped working together with Anthropic technology

Defense Department Request and Company Response
- The U.S. Department of Defense required full access to Anthropic's AI systems for military operations. The request included a deadline for compliance.
- Dario Amodei the CEO of Anthropic rejected the request because it would permit unlimited access to the system which he believed violated democratic principles. He denied the request. The company's response created a situation which generated greater tension between the administration and the company.
Shift Toward OpenAI Partnership
- The White House ended its partnership with Anthropic after the company denied its request. The Pentagon established a partnership with OpenAI following their initial collaboration with Anthropic.
- OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed the development. OpenAI will serve as the primary partner for defense projects which employ artificial intelligence technology.
Impact on AI and Defense Collaboration
