Anthropic had pushed to get it there, believing that keeping the best AI out of the military&#8217;s hands would only cede the advantage to America&#8217;s rivals. The first <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/article\/2026\/03\/11\/anthropic-claude-disruptive-company-pentagon\/\" title=\"undefined\" target=\"undefined\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">frontier AI system cleared for classified networks<\/a>, Claude reportedly had been deployed in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro in January and would be used in the U.S. strikes on Iran days later. But Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wanted more: he pressed Amodei to drop \u201cred lines\u201d barring Claude&#8217;s use for mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons systems, insisting the military should be able to use the model for &#8220;all lawful purposes.&#8221; When Amodei refused, the Trump Administration designated Anthropic a supply-chain risk\u2014an unprecedented move against an American company\u2014and ordered all federal agencies to stop using Claude. Anthropic challenged the designation in court, and a federal judge granted a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpolicy.press\/a-timeline-of-the-anthropic-pentagon-dispute\/\" title=\"undefined\" target=\"undefined\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">preliminary injunction<\/a> blocking it. When the dust settled, Anthropic appeared to have emerged stronger, with a surge of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aiexpertmagazine.com\/pentagon-halts-anthropic-risk-label-ai-ethics\/\" title=\"undefined\" target=\"undefined\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">new customers<\/a> drawn to the company&#8217;s willingness to hold its ground. That Anthropic had voluntarily put Claude inside the Pentagon in the first place seemed beside the point. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei walked into the Pentagon on February 24, his company&#8217;s AI model, Claude, was&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23062,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[53,15841,15842,13226],"class_list":{"0":"post-23061","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-anthropic","8":"tag-anthropic","9":"tag-franchise","10":"tag-list","11":"tag-time100-companies"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23061"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23061\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
