"The Pentagon has struck deals with OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Elon Musk's xAI, and the startup Reflection, allowing the agency to use their AI tools in classified settings."
"Anthropic had a $200 million deal to handle classified materials for the Pentagon, but it refused to loosen 'red lines' around mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons."
"Emil Michael, the Defense Department's chief technology officer, stated that Anthropic is still a supply chain risk, but praised its security model, Mythos, for its capabilities in finding cyber vulnerabilities."
"The agreements with the seven AI companies will allow for the 'lawful operational use' of their systems, establishing the United States military as an AI-first fighting force."

The Defense Department's chief technology officer emphasized the need for secure networks, referencing Anthropic's security model, Mythos.
