I have no inside scoop, but it sure looks like this was all pre-arranged. Altman made a better offer to Hegseth/ Trump (or offered some other "inducement"), so Hegseth found this way to weasel out of the contract with Anthropic. I don't see how this all would have transpired that quickly otherwise. And of course the fact that three days later OpenAI reportedly got the same contingencies on its contract that were the supposed reason for cancelling Anthropic's contract just looks wrong.

The stuff that Altman mentioned seemed to indicate that they'll support the US government as long as the US government is following the law, ignoring the "if the president does it it's not illegal" mentality that this administration appears to be taking.
