Trump wrote on Truth Social that most agencies must immediately stop using Anthropic\u2019s AI but gave the Pentagon a six-month period to phase out the technology that is already embedded in military platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At issue in the defense contract was a clash over AI\u2019s role in national security. Anthropic had said it sought narrow assurances from the Pentagon that Claude won\u2019t be used for mass surveillance of Americans or in fully autonomous weapons. But after months of private talks exploded into public debate, it said in a Thursday statement that new contract language \u201cframed as compromise was paired with legalese that would allow those safeguards to be disregarded at will.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anthropic, maker of the chatbot Claude, could afford to lose the contract. But an ultimatum this week from Hegseth posed broader risks at the peak of the company\u2019s meteoric rise from a little-known computer science research lab in San Francisco to one of the world\u2019s most valuable startups. Military officials had warned Anthropic earlier in the week they could deem it \u201ca supply chain risk,\u201d a designation typically stamped on foreign adversaries that could derail the company\u2019s critical partnerships with other businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump also said Anthropic could face \u201cmajor civil and criminal consequences\u201d if it\u2019s not helpful in the phase-out period. Anthropic didn\u2019t immediately reply to a request for comment on the new developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The president\u2019s decision was preceded by hours of top Trump appointees from the Pentagon and the State Department taking to social media to criticize Anthropic and slam their reluctance to acquiesce to the administration\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the penalties on Anthropic \u201ccombined with inflammatory rhetoric attacking that company, raises serious concerns about whether national security decisions are being driven by careful analysis or political considerations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dispute stunned AI developers in Silicon Valley, where a growing number of workers from Anthropic\u2019s top rivals, OpenAI and Google, voiced support for Amodei\u2019s stand in open letters and other forums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move is likely to benefit Elon Musk\u2019s competing chatbot, Grok, which the Pentagon plans to give access to classified military networks, and could serve as a warning to two other competitors, Google and OpenAI, that also have contracts to supply their AI tools to the military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Musk sided with Trump\u2019s administration on Friday, saying on his social media platform X that \u201cAnthropic hates Western Civilization.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But one of Amodei\u2019s fiercest rivals, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, sided with Anthropic and questioned the Pentagon\u2019s \u201cthreatening\u201d move in a CNBC interview, suggesting that OpenAI and most of the AI field share the same red lines. Amodei once worked for OpenAI before he and other OpenAI leaders quit to form Anthropic in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor all the differences I have with Anthropic, I mostly trust them as a company, and I think they really do care about safety,\u201d Altman told CNBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retired Air Force Gen. Jack Shanahan wrote on a social media that \u201cpainting a bullseye on Anthropic garners spicy headlines, but everyone loses in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shanahan said Claude is already being widely used across the government, including in classified settings, and Anthropic\u2019s red lines are \u201creasonable.\u201d He said the AI large language models that power chatbots like Claude are also \u201cnot ready for prime time in national security settings,\u201d particularly not for fully autonomous weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u2019re not trying to play cute here,\u201d he wrote Thursday on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>O\u2019Brien reported from Providence,
