Instead, OpenAI swooped in and made its own agreement with the Pentagon. The Department of Defense \u2014 known under the Trump administration as the Department of War \u2014 also signed an agreement with Elon Musk\u2019s xAI to use Grok in classified systems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It makes sense, then, why the Pentagon would be working on phasing Anthropic\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> out of its workflows. While some reports said there was a small possibility that Anthropic would reconcile with the Pentagon, this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> suggests that the government is preparing to forge ahead without them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has declared Anthropic a supply-chain risk, a designation usually reserved for foreign adversaries, which bars companies that work with the Pentagon from working with Anthropic as well. Anthropic is challenging this designation in court.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
