OpenAI has secured a historic agreement to deploy its AI models across the Department of Defense's classified networks, coinciding with a record $110 billion funding round. The deal follows a dramatic federal ban on rival Anthropic, which lost a $200 million contract after refusing to grant the Pentagon unrestricted access for military operations.
OpenAI has signed a landmark agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense to provide artificial intelligence services, consolidating its position as the primary federal AI provider. The deal was finalized shortly after President Trump issued an executive order banning federal agencies from utilizing technology developed by rival firm Anthropic.
President Donald Trump has ordered all federal agencies to cease using Anthropic’s AI technology following a high-profile standoff over military usage rights. The move, supported by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, designates the AI firm as a supply chain risk after CEO Dario Amodei refused to grant the Pentagon unrestricted access to its Claude models.
