In a dramatic turn of events, OpenAI has secured a partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense just hours after President Donald Trump ordered all federal agencies to cease the use of Anthropic technology. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced the agreement on X (formerly Twitter), emphasizing that their technology will not be used for 'domestic mass surveillance' or 'autonomous weapons.' This swift move by OpenAI underscores a significant shift in the U.S. government's approach to artificial intelligence, as it seeks to distance itself from Anthropic amid rising tensions. Trump's directive, issued on February 28, 2026, labeled Anthropic a supply-chain risk, leading to a six-month phase-out for its products across federal agencies, with potential civil and criminal consequences for non-compliance.
