One signal

The Pentagon has stopped using Anthropic’s AI tools, the BBC reports, months after the US defence department labelled the company a “supply chain risk”.

Why it matters

The BBC says multiple sources told it Claude had recently been widely used. That makes the reported change notable: the tools were in use despite the earlier designation, and are now said to be out. The report gives a specific turn in the Pentagon-Anthropic relationship, but the supplied account does not explain when the tools were withdrawn or what replaces them.

Discuss: How should government agencies weigh a security designation against the practical value of widely used AI tools?
