Amazon says Anthropic’s Claude still OK for AWS customers to use outside defense work
Summary
Amazon announced that AWS customers can continue using Anthropic's Claude AI models for all work except Department of Defense projects, after the federal government labeled Anthropic a "supply chain risk." Anthropic says it will challenge this designation in court, and major cloud providers (Amazon, Microsoft, and Google) are helping customers transition to alternative AI models for defense-related work.
