Pentagon Partners with Top AI Firms, Excludes Anthropic

The Pentagon has announced new partnerships with several top AI companies for work on classified networks, notably excluding Anthropic. This move comes amidst a dispute between Anthropic and the Defense Department, where Anthropic has been labeled a supply chain risk due to its AI model's capabilities in cybersecurity. Despite the label, multiple government departments continue to use Anthropic's technology. The company's CEO has argued that the label is unfair and will cost them hundreds of millions of dollars in business.
