Anthropic CEO says refusal to pander to Trump caused Pentagon blowup.

In a scathing 1,600 word memo to employees sent on Friday, CEO Dario Amodei suggested Anthropic’s relationship with the government soured because, unlike OpenAI or its executives, “we haven’t donated to Trump” and “we haven’t given dictator-style praise to Trump.”

The Pentagon says the “talks are over” with Anthropic.

During an interview with Bloomberg, Emil Michael, the under secretary of defense for research and engineering, says Anthropic’s move to sue the Pentagon was an “expected reaction” to its designation as a supply-chain risk.

The Pentagon filed a rebuttal to Anthropic’s lawsuit.

Anthropic filed a lawsuit earlier this month over its “supply chain risk” designation, but the Department of Defense held firm in a new court filing, alleging that the company could ostensibly “attempt to disable its technology or preemptively alter the behavior of its model either before or during ongoing warfighting operations” in the event it felt its red lines were “being crossed.” The filing added that the Pentagon “deemed that an unacceptable risk to national security.”
