SUMMARY

OpenAI is actively pursuing a classified deal with the Pentagon to deploy its AI models in military environments after rival Anthropic refused to meet Defense Department requirements.

CEO Sam Altman confirmed the negotiations in an internal note to staff Thursday evening.

“We are going to see if there is a deal with the DoW that allows our models to be deployed in classified environments and that fits with our principles,” Altman wrote.

The push directly aims to capitalize on Anthropic’s shortcomings. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei rejected Pentagon demands that its technology be available for “all lawful uses.”
