OpenAI has signed a contract with the US Department of Defense (DoD) to deploy its AI models, following Anthropic's blacklisting over its refusal to relax restrictions on AI use for military applications. Anthropic's $200 million contract was terminated after it resisted the Pentagon's demand for unrestricted access to its AI for lawful military purposes, leading to President Trump's order for federal agencies to cease using Anthropic's technology. OpenAI's agreement includes similar safety principles, allowing it to take Anthropic's place as a key AI partner for the DoD.
