- Anthropic refused a Pentagon ultimatum to remove cloud guardrails and allow unrestricted military use, citing risks to democratic values in some cases.
- CEO Dario Amodei published a public blog post ahead of the deadline and faced backlash including a Trump order banning Anthropic across US agencies.
