Anthropic's Claude Aids US Military Operation In Venezuela

Axios and The Wall Street Journal report that the US military used Anthropic's Claude model during the January 3 operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The deployment occurred on classified platforms via a Palantir partnership despite Anthropic's public usage policies banning facilitation of violence, and negotiations with the Pentagon over loosened safeguards have stalled a potential up-to-$200 million contract.
