The US Department of War (formerly known as the Department of Defense) is considering terminating its cooperation with AI startup Anthropic because the company insists on keeping restrictions on the use of its models by the US military, Axios quoted sources as saying.

The Pentagon is pressuring four AI companies to allow the military to use their AI tools for all legitimate purposes, including weapons development, intelligence collection and battlefield operations, but Anthropic has not accepted those terms, the report stated.

Other AI companies cooperating with the Department of War include OpenAI, Alphabet (GOOGL.US)'s Google and xAI.

Moreover, according to The Wall Street Journal, sources said that the US military used Anthropic's Claude model in the operation to capture former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

The deployment of Claude was achieved through Anthropic's collaboration with Palantir (PLTR.US), whose platform is widely used by the Department of War and federal law enforcement agencies, the report added.
