OpenAI strikes Pentagon deal with safety guardrails amid Anthropic clash

OpenAI reached a deal with the Pentagon to provide its AI technologies for classified U.S. government work, including safeguards to prevent domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons. The move follows a failed negotiation with rival Anthropic and comes as Trump pressures agencies to reassess AI use. OpenAI will embed some staff with government teams on classified projects and implement technical guardrails. Implementation may depend on AWS access, with OpenAI recently partnering with Amazon; Google and xAI also have Pentagon contracts in the broader landscape.

Pentagon weighs labeling Anthropic as AI supply-chain risk

The Pentagon has asked Boeing and Lockheed Martin to assess their reliance on Anthropic's Claude as a potential 'supply chain risk,' a move that could lead to designating Anthropic and forcing changes or disengagement in defense use. Anthropic has resisted lifting safeguards on mass surveillance and autonomous weapons, while the DoD weighs options including compelling adjustments or pursuing other vendors for classified AI needs.

Pentagon presses Anthropic for unfettered Claude access or face penalties

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei that the Pentagon will either cut ties and declare Anthropic a supply-chain risk or invoke the Defense Production Act to force Claude to meet military needs, with penalties for noncompliance; Anthropic says it’s willing to adjust usage policies but won’t enable mass surveillance or autonomous weapons, highlighting a high-stakes clash as Claude remains the Pentagon’s primary model for sensitive work and other AI vendors eye classified deployments.
