The U.S. Department of Defense abruptly ceased using the Anthropic model in February 2026, marking a significant shift in AI policy. This decision followed a prior classification by Pete Hegseth, who labeled Anthropic as a national security risk. The evidence indicates a complete cessation of usage, though specific operational details remain unverified.
Key points
- The U.S. Department of Defense completely stopped using the Anthropic model in February 2026, as confirmed by BBC reporting.
- Pete Hegseth had previously classified Anthropic as a national security risk in February 2026, leading to the cessation.
Context and limitations
