Several tech companies, including OpenAI, are encouraging the DOD behind the scenes to back away from designating Anthropic a “supply chain risk,” which would prohibit it from doing business with government entities, The New York Times’ Mike Isaac reports. Industry pushback reflects both shared principles and self-interest, as major investors and partners, including Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Google (GOOGL), have financial and commercial ties to Anthropic. Executives fear the Pentagon’s punitive designation could set a broad precedent for government contractors, while many AI researchers align with Anthropic’s restrictions on how its technology is deployed, Isaac writes.
