Up until now, though, only Anthropic&rsquo;s model has been allowed for the military&rsquo;s most sensitive tasks in intelligence, weapons development and battlefield operations. Claude was reportedly used in the Venezuelan raid in which the US military exfiltrated the country&rsquo;s president, Nicol&aacute;s Maduro, and his wife.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">However, the Pentagon demanded that Anthropic make Claude available for &ldquo;all lawful purposes&rdquo; including mass surveillance and the development of fully autonomous weapons. Anthropic reportedly refused to offer its tech for those things, even with a &ldquo;safety stack&rdquo; built into that model.<\/p>\n<div class=\"col-fullbleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex\" id=\"_R_2m1ctccilfaiv5tilbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">xAI, by contrast, agreed to a standard that would allow the DoD to employ its AI for any purpose it deems &ldquo;lawful.&rdquo; However, the xAI model is not considered by officials to be as cutting-edge or reliable as Anthropic&rsquo;s Claude, and they admit that replacing Claude with Grok would be a challenge. The Pentagon is reportedly also negotiating deals with OpenAI and Gemini, both of which it considers to be on par with Anthropic.<\/p>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">xAI had announced a version of Grok for US government agencies in July 2025. Shortly before that, though, the chatbot started spouting fascist propaganda and antisemitic rhetoric while dubbing itself &ldquo;MechaHitler.&rdquo; All of that followed a public spat between Musk and Trump over the president&rsquo;s spending bill, after which GSA approval of Grok seemed to stall. Earlier this week, Anthropic accused three Chinese AI labs of abusing Claude&rsquo;s AI with &ldquo;distillation attacks&rdquo; to improve their own models.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><sub><\/sub><\/p>\n<div>The US military will reportedly use Elon Musk&rsquo;s Grok AI in its classified systems<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US Department of Defense has reportedly reached a deal to use Elon Musk&rsquo;s Grok in its classified systems, according to Axios.
