Last week, the negotiations ended in failure, but now Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, is making a final effort to come to an agreement with the agency.
The newspaper reports that Amodei is engaging in discussions with Emil Michael, the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering. In late February, Michael referred to Amodei as a "liar with a God complex." A new contract will enable the US military to keep using Anthropic's technology and greatly lower the chances of the company being classified as a "supply chain risk."
As mentioned by the FT, Anthropic initially entered into a $200 million agreement with the Pentagon back in July 2025. The company's AI model was the first to be applied for classified operations and adopted by national security agencies. The disagreement between Anthropic and the government grew worse after the Pentagon asked AI companies to allow their technologies to be used for any "lawful" purposes.
Anthropic declined to remove security measures that stop its technology from being used in lethal autonomous weapons and the surveillance of the U.S. population. The talks ended without reaching an agreement the next day, as the parties could not agree on the terms, as reported by the FT.
