The Pentagon is pressing AI firms OpenAI and Anthropic to remove restrictions on their models for military applications. Officials want these tools operational across both classified and unclassified networks, signaling a strategic push to integrate frontier AI capabilities into all levels of defense operations.
Current offerings from most tech companies are limited to unclassified systems, with Anthropic's Claude being the sole exception—though still constrained by third-party platforms and usage rules. The military's demand for direct access to sensitive networks underscores the evolving role of AI in modern warfare, where drone swarms and cyberattacks are already reshaping combat.
