OpenAI's CEO admits the Pentagon deal was rushed and amends it with new surveillance protections - but legal experts say the fixes don't close the real loopholes.

OpenAI's CEO admits the Pentagon deal was rushed and amends it with new surveillance protections - but legal experts say the fixes don't close the real loopholes.

Anthropic's Claude hit number one on Apple's App Store after users publicly switched from ChatGPT in support of the company's Pentagon stance - but the narrative is more complicated than it looks.

Anthropic will challenge the Pentagon's unprecedented supply chain risk designation in court, calling it legally unsound and a dangerous precedent for any American company that negotiates with the government.

OpenAI secured a Pentagon classified network deal with prohibitions on mass surveillance and autonomous weapons - the exact same terms that got Anthropic banned from all federal agencies hours earlier.

President Trump directed all U.S. government agencies to immediately cease using Anthropic's technology after the company refused to drop AI safety guardrails for the Pentagon. Defense Secretary Hegseth designated Anthropic a supply chain risk to national security.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a public statement rejecting the Pentagon's final terms, saying the proposed compromise language 'would allow those safeguards to be disregarded at will.' The Friday 5:01 PM deadline still stands.
