Anthropic makes last-ditch effort to salvage deal with Pentagon after blowup

Anthropic's CEO is negotiating with the U.S. Department of Defense to repair their relationship after talks broke down over the Pentagon's demand for unrestricted access to Anthropic's AI system. The military had labeled Anthropic a 'supply chain risk' (a concern that a vendor could compromise national security), and competitors like OpenAI are now pursuing defense contracts in Anthropic's absence.
