OpenAI Reaches Deal with Pentagon to Deploy Tech on Classified Network
OpenAI has reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense to deploy its technology on the Pentagon's classified network, after Anthropic was banned from military use.
OpenAI has reached a deal with the United States Department of Defense to provide its technology for classified networks, CEO Sam Altman confirmed. The announcement came shortly after President Trump banned Anthropic from military use.
This marks a significant shift in OpenAI's stance toward military applications. Previously, the company had been more cautious about defense contracts, citing ethical concerns.
The deal includes additional safeguards to protect use cases on the classified network, according to OpenAI.
