The Trump administration is "livid" about Amodei's principled stand on military AI. An Anthropic official contacted Palantir about Claude's use during the Venezuela/Maduro raid; Palantir escalated to Pentagon leadership. Defense Secretary Hegseth is reportedly "close" to designating Anthropic a "supply chain risk" — a classification normally reserved for foreign adversaries — which would force all Pentagon contractors to certify they don't use Claude. This is now on NBC News, not just tech press. The $200M contract and Claude's status as the ONLY LLM authorized on Pentagon classified networks are both at stake. Fortune | NBC News
