US Military Uses Anthropic Claude During Strikes

US military reportedly used Anthropic's Claude during the joint US-Israel bombing campaign against Iran beginning Saturday, according to The Wall Street Journal and Axios. The AI supported intelligence analysis, target identification, and battlefield simulations, even after former President Trump ordered federal agencies to stop using Anthropic tools the previous day. The Pentagon plans a transition period of up to six months while OpenAI moves to provide ChatGPT to classified networks.
