The documents show the Pentagon told Anthropic the two sides were nearly aligned just a week after former President Trump declared their relationship over. This legal battle highlights ongoing tensions between AI companies and government oversight of sensitive technologies.
Background
Anthropic is an AI safety company founded by former OpenAI researchers, known for developing constitutional AI and large language models. The Pentagon has been increasingly scrutinizing AI companies over potential national security risks as AI capabilities advance rapidly.
