Anthropic has rejected the Pentagon's final proposal regarding the use of its Claude model, citing significant disagreements over its potential use for mass surveillance and as an autonomous weapon. The company announced that negotiations have stalled, with little progress made on these critical issues. The U.S. Department of Defense has threatened to blacklist Anthropic from its supply chain or use the Defense Production Act to compel compliance. Despite these pressures, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei affirmed the company's stance against the "all legitimate uses" requirement and expressed willingness to assist the Pentagon in transitioning to alternative model suppliers.
