What is the Department of Defense? is that a Twitter group?
Anthropic should be viewed through very jaundiced eyes. As with their AI, truth telling by company execs is optional. If a convenient lie works better it will be convincingly deployed.
Your loss, DoD.

Liberal homos.
“You MUST buy my product (EV, vaccine, public school).”
“You must hire me (Union labor, DEI hire...).
Screw Anthropic.
They are the product/service provider and should not dictate what the customer gets.
The customer is the DOW and if Anthropic doesn’t want to deliver what the customer wants, they need to look for customers elsewhere, not try to FORCE themselves on the customer.
This is a perverse situation.
The best thing the DoW could do is subsidize datacenter hardware costs for frontier model companies like Anthropic and OpenAI. The Chinese CCP is subsidizing Deepseek and Qwen, and all the hardware they run on in China, to outcompete US AI companies for global commercial users who don’t need the PhD math capabilities of our frontier models at 100x cheaper token costs. Their distilled models are pirated versions of Claude and OpenAI, “good enough” for most business applications.
They are doing to AI what they did to electronics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, steel, and a host of other industries that used to be in the US. They see AI as the ultimate tool for control, once we are dependent on their products.
