AI competition heats up as OpenAI and Anthropic form consulting partnerships to deploy AI at scale.

But hours after Trump ordered the ban, Anthropic’s models were used in air attacks in Iran, the Wall Street Journal reported, though it’s not clear exactly how. And they’re still being used by the U.S.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on X that his company has come to terms with the Defense Department for use of its models.

It's Anthropic vs. OpenAI and the Pentagon in the AI wars, and San Francisco's chalk warriors have chosen their champion.

OpenAI secures a Pentagon deal to deploy AI on classified systems as the US government bars Anthropic over national security concerns.

Three more U.S. cabinet-level agencies, ​the departments of State, Treasury and Health and Human Services, are going to stop the use of Anthropic's AI products.

The deal came hours after President Trump had ordered federal agencies to stop using artificial intelligence technology made by Anthropic, an OpenAI rival.

Anthropic's moral stand on U.S. military use of artificial intelligence is reshaping the competition between leading AI companies but also exposing a growing awareness that maybe chatbots just aren't capable enough for acts of war.
