#AnthropicUSGovClash Donald Trump Declares War on Anthropic Their fight will shake the entire tech industry. President Trump is terminating the government’s relationship with Anthropic, an AI company whose products, until recently, were used by Pentagon officials for classified operations. Following a weekslong standoff with the company, Trump posted on Truth Social this afternoon that all federal agencies must “IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology,” adding: “We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again!” The General Services Administration announced that it would take action against Anthropic’s products, and indeed, according to an email I obtained that was sent to the leadership of all agencies using USAi—a GSA platform that provides chatbots from tech companies to government workers—access to Anthropic was suspended “immediately.” The government is also removing Anthropic from its primary procurement system, which is the key way for any federal agency to purchase a commercial product. Anthropic was awarded a $200 million contract with the Pentagon over the summer geared toward providing versions of its technology for military use. OpenAI, Google, and xAI were awarded similar contracts, though Anthropic’s Claude models are the only advanced generative-AI programs to receive Pentagon security clearance permitting the handling of secret and classified data. Claude had been integrated across the Department of Defense and was reportedly used to assist the raid on Venezuela that led to the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. FOLLOW LIKE SHARE
