Pentagon threatens to cut off Anthropic in AI safeguards dispute, Axios reports

Feb 14 (Reuters) - The Pentagon is considering ending its relationship with artificial intelligence company Anthropic over its insistence on keeping some restrictions on how the U.S. military uses its models, Axios reported on Saturday, citing an administration official.
The Pentagon is pushing four AI companies to let the military use their tools for "all lawful purposes," including in areas of weapons development, intelligence collection and battlefield operations, but Anthropic has not agreed to those terms and the Pentagon is getting fed up after months of negotiations, according to the Axios report.

The other companies included OpenAI, Google and xAI.
An Anthropic spokesperson said the company had not discussed the use of its AI model Claude for specific operations with the Pentagon. The spokesperson said conversations with the U.S. government so far had focused on a specific set of usage policy questions, including hard limits around fully autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance, none of which related to current operations.
The Pentagon did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.
Anthropic's AI model Claude was used in the U.S. military's operation to capture former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, with Claude deployed via Anthropic's partnership with data firm Palantir (PLTR.O), opens new tab, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.

Reuters reported on Wednesday that the Pentagon was pushing top AI companies including OpenAI and Anthropic to make their artificial intelligence tools available on classified networks without many of the standard restrictions that the companies apply to users.

General Minihan's opinion about AI

Q: Finally, how did you see the rise of AI influencing AMC and how do you see it being used by the command in the future?

A: I’m a big fan of AI as long as commanders maintain the risk and the priority settings. You know I tried hard to get AI incorporated in Air Mobility Command, but the entire ecosystem wasn’t ready to have that conversation yet. I think AI and data are its own domain.

Like other domains we’re going to need supremacy and superiority in it. We’re going to need to fight for it and fight from it. It’s going to benefit from the other domains, but I think disproportionately it’s going to benefit the other domains. More so our ability to sense and seize opportunity, our ability to simplify, our ability to reduce variables, our ability to gain decision advantage, our ability to make better decisions, quicker, at a higher tempo than the adversary. I think all those things are AI- and data-oriented, and I’m still not certain that we see it that way. We have got to get first mover advantage in the AI domain, and that’s going to take some work. I think that we’re starting to get there, but I think we have a long way to go on it.

Q: Why do you think that there’s been such resistance to AI?

A: I’m not certain most people actually use it. It’s new. Certainly there’s a newness to it. But at the end of the day, this is about data. Can you trust the data? It really flips the script, if you think about it as its own domain, because then you understand the magnitude of its importance, and you understand that this is about decision making and trust, and that you’re actually not off-shooting that to the machine to do. That you’re asking the machine and the AI to reduce variables and increase simplicity.

Then you really think about, how does a commander be able to set priorities, set risk tolerances, adjust those as required, and then, at the end of the day, this is about better decision making. I think that there’s a complexity to this that just needs to play out a bit, but I know one thing, I don’t think our adversaries are downplaying AI and data as a domain. I think that they’re 100% embracing it, and I think we need to do the same. And of course, it’s American ingenuity. We’ll get better at it and dominate.

AI Is Now Helping The F-35 Spot Enemy Air Defenses

New artificial intelligence technology is giving the F-35 the ability to pick out confusing threat emissions and get them properly identified faster.

Lockheed Martin has shared new details about how it is using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to help F-35 pilots spot hostile air defenses faster and more accurately. The company says it is also leveraging AI to speed up the process of using new data to refine and improve the jet’s already extensive electronic warfare suite. All of this represents further stepping stones toward more advanced cognitive electronic warfare capabilities, allowing for more agile adaptation to emerging threats, possibly even right in the middle of a mission.

War in Iran, crisis in AI: SF reacts to combat, divergent moves by Anthropic, OpenAI​

As the Trump administration dropped bombs on Iran and banned Anthropic from defense contracts, Sam Altman said OpenAI would fall in line with government demands.

San Francisco awoke Saturday morning to a barrage of news from Washington, the Middle East, and Silicon Valley. Overnight, President Donald Trump announcedthat his administration had launched a war of choice on Iran, joining Israel in raining airstrikes down on at least nine cities.

Trump said on social media that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in attacks.

The violence began just hours after the president declared on Truth Social that he was ending all government work with AI company Anthropic over its refusal to give the Department of War unfettered access to its technology.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told CBS News Friday that there were “red lines” that his company refused to cross, saying, “We wanted to stand up for American values.”

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman took the opposite path, announcing late Friday night that his company would be acceding to the government’s demands, saying that the firm had “reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.”

The divergent decisions by two of the world’s largest private AI companies, both headquartered in San Francisco, ignited a firestorm of debate and accusations on social media.

Eagle-eyed social media trackers quickly scrounged up previous tweets and posts from Trump allies, like venture capitalist David Sacks, who one year ago railed against earlier U.S. incursions into the Middle East.

San Francisco rallies in support of Anthropic, against war in Iran​

On Friday night in Golden Gate Park, workers from Anthropic and other startups, lawyers, and concerned citizens gathered for a peaceful rally. They expressed their support for Amodei’s decision to refuse the Pentagon’s demand that it allow Claude to be used in autonomous weapons or for mass surveilance of U.S. citizens. The Standard’s column The Waggle reported from the scene: “A guy with a guitar did a song. People gave speeches. And Claude Opus 4.5 closed out the night with a speech of its own, praising the company for courage and attendees for their solidarity, using a voice language model and a microphone.”

Supporters of Anthropic left messages in chalk outside its offices in SoMA on Friday. The messages included exhortations to keep up the resistance against the Trump administration: “Keep going.” “You give your courage.” “God loves Anthropic.”

An anti-war rally was reportedly being planned for 3 p.m. Saturday at the Speaker Nancy Pelosi Federal Building at 90 7th St. in SoMa.

The former speaker herself released a statement Saturday morning opposing the strikes on Iran, writing, “President Trump’s decision to initiate military hostilities into Iran starts another unnecessary war which endangers our servicemembers and destabilizes an already fragile region.”

Hundreds gathered on Seventh Street outside the Speaker Nancy Pelosi Federal Building Saturday afternoon to protest the attack. The protesters held banners, drew peace signs on the sidewalk with chalk, and chanted anti-war slogans.

“We know what we are fighting for,” yelled the protestors. “Not another endless war.”

Lois Feller, a 69-year-old administrative assistant, said she was horrified by Trump’s decision to strike Iran, just as she has been with most of his actions over his two terms.

“The people at the top of [Iran’s] government may be assholes, but it’s not our job to get rid of the assholes,” she said. “Let’s get rid of our asshole first.”

Rohan Sabnis, a 46-year-old in software testing, said he started planning for the protest as soon as he heard the news of the attack last night.

“War is terrorism magnified a million times,” he said.

Jan M., a 67-year-old retiree, said she’s dismayed by the administration’s focus on overseas conflicts while so many issues are dire domestically. She’s concerned about the larger impact on the stability of the geopolitical order.

“I’m grateful I don’t have grandchildren to worry about,” she said.

Several of the protestors, who waved Palestine flags and donned keffiyehs, criticized Israel’s role in the attacks. Speakers at the protest lamented the “vicious Zionist entity”

Ryan P. Miller, a 45-year-old who served overseas with the Marines in countries outside of the Middle East, said there’s been an “awakening” in the veteran community about how America and Israel’s interests have often been intertwined.

When speaking with The Standard, Miller broke down in tears. Now as a professional therapist, Miller said protests function to “metabolize the grief” that came from his service and mourn those who have perished in previous American wars.

“It’s fucking hard,” he said. “It’s really dark.
