It means that all companies contracting with the government have to certify that they don't use Anthropic products at all. Not just in the products being offered to the government.
This is a massive body slam. This means that Nvidia, every server vendor, IBM, AWS, Azure, Microsoft and everybody else has to certify that they don't do business directly or indirectly using Anthropic products.
- ipaddr 8mo agoMicrosoft, Azure, AWS, Nvidia and IBM all have deals with other providers for AI. That itself doesn't turn the needle.
- Nevermark 8mo agoI think the point is that would be catastrophic for Anthropic.
- ekianjo 8mo agoWho cares about Anthropic? That's the guys who are pushing for regulations to prevent people from using local models. The earlier they are gone the better
- etchalon 8mo ago"First they came for Anthropic, and I said nothing because fuck those guys I guess."
- fauigerzigerk 8mo agoFirst they came for Anthropic in spite of the fact that Anthropic tried so hard to make them come for local models first.
- iFreilicht 7mo agoAre they? I couldn't find any info about this and my past perception has been that Anthropic has a stronger moral codex than other AI companies, so I would be genuinely interested in where you got this information from.

- scarmig 8mo agoGoing by what Hegseth said, it bans them from relationships or partnering with Anthropic at all. No renting or selling GPUs to them; no allowing software engineers to use Claude Code; no serving Anthropic models from their clouds. Probably have to give up investments; Amazon alone has invested like $10B in Anthropic.
- direwolf20 8mo agoIt bans them from using all open source software unless they have signed an agreement with the developer to prohibit use of Claude Code.
- kelvinjps10 8mo agoWhat open source software ? Anthropic doesn't make open source software?
- direwolf20 8mo agoAll open source software, because the developers might use Claude Code.
- Perz1val 8mo agoNvidia can also say no, they won't have choice but yield or not have AI at all
