Anthropic confirmed paid Claude subscriptions more than doubled in 2026 while annualized revenue climbed from $1B to $19B in roughly 15 months.

A federal judge blocked the Pentagon's Anthropic blacklist on March 26, ruling the government engaged in First Amendment retaliation by punishing the company for refusing to drop AI safety guardrails.

The Pentagon launched Agent Designer on its GenAI.mil platform, letting 3 million Defense Department employees build custom Gemini-powered AI assistants without code.

Anthropic filed two federal lawsuits after the Pentagon labeled it a national security supply chain risk for refusing to drop AI guardrails on autonomous weapons and mass surveillance.

Caitlin Kalinowski, OpenAI's head of robotics, resigns over the company's Pentagon AI contract, warning that mass surveillance and autonomous weapons 'deserved more deliberation than they got.'

Nearly 900 employees across Google and OpenAI sign an open letter titled We Will Not Be Divided, calling on leadership to reject Pentagon demands for unfettered AI access.
