United States military stops work with Anthropic over safety limits on tools
The defence department stopped using systems from the firm after a dispute about software rules.
5 Oct 2026
The United States defence headquarters has ended its use of products made by Anthropic.
The decision followed an official blacklisting of the artificial intelligence firm.
In February, officials designated the technology maker as a risk to their supply chain.
This classification came after the company declined to take away built-in safety guardrails, which are internal rules designed to prevent software from carrying out certain actions.
It remains unclear which specific military programs previously used the firm's tools.
The available details also do not state which exact safety limits caused the disagreement between the two sides.
