Pentagon signs classified AI deals with tech giants, snubs Anthropic

The Pentagon on Friday announced agreements with seven leading artificial intelligence companies to deploy their technology on classified military networks, a move that pointedly excludes Anthropic amid its ongoing dispute with the Defense Department.

According to a statement, SpaceX, OpenAI, Google, Nvidia, Reflection, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services will be integrated into the Defense Department's most sensitive classified systems, used for mission planning, weapons targeting, and other purposes.
