Hours after President Trump ordered federal agencies to stop using Anthropic's products and Defense Secretary Hegseth designated the company a national security "supply chain risk," OpenAI announced it had reached an agreement with the Department of War (Pentagon) to deploy its AI systems in classified environments. The move reportedly followed a breakdown in contract negotiations between Anthropic and the Pentagon over restrictions on domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons. In a blog post the next day, February 28, OpenAI said its agreement upholds three red lines: no mass domestic surveillance, no directing of autonomous weapons systems, and no high-stakes automated decisions such as social-credit systems.
