I’m surprised it was Claude, not other more MAGA adjacent model providers, has been the only one vendor.
Mostly likely Anthropic was chosen because the previous administration had standards based on national security requirements.
Corrupt Defense Secretary is now tossing the standard for personal gain and corruption. He will be lining the pockets of his supporters instead of focusing on strong national security.

Absolutely, sir....It was the most perfect election in history, possibly ever in the universe, until the windmills, very suspicious windmills, teamed up with Crooked Hillary and the deep state to do things nobody has ever seen before... Meanwhile your beautiful wall is already paid for spiritually by Mexico, which many people are saying. Water pressure is low because of global antishower conspiracies. Crowds remain the biggest in recorded human civilization. You officially know more about wind, walls, elections, plumbing, and reality than anyone...
This means pentagon wants their non aligned models more and more. Non aligned super intelligence is far more powerful and dangerous than nuclear weapons. Even whole arsenal of nuclear weapons. Even current level of non aligned intelligence could already allow average individual to synthesize and release a biological weapon such as specially crafted virus.

No problem there, given their inability to agree contract terms.
> and designating the AI company a 'supply chain risk'
Problem there. Looks like spite. US Govt. harming the supplier that won't play ball helps the competitors that might - and sends them a warning.
