Google joins Microsoft in telling users Anthropic is still available outside defense projects
Summary
Google and Microsoft announced they will continue offering Anthropic's Claude AI models to their cloud customers for non-defense work, after the U.S. Defense Department designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk (a company that poses potential security or operational threats to government operations). The announcements came after the Trump administration instructed federal agencies to stop using Anthropic's technology, but the companies determined that non-defense projects are still permitted under this designation.
