The Pentagon has ceased its use of Anthropic's AI tools following a dispute over safety guardrails.

In response, the Pentagon designated Anthropic a national security risk, leading Anthropic to sue the Trump administration to reverse this decision. Concurrently, the Pentagon has established contracts with Google, xAI, and OpenAI. AI
