OpenAI to sell AI to U.S. agencies through Amazon cloud unit

OpenAI has signed a new deal to sell access to its AI models to U.S. defense and government agencies through Amazon’s cloud unit for classified and unclassified work, the ChatGPT maker said on Tuesday.
The contract enables OpenAI to support the Pentagon under a deal it secured late last month, after the agency dropped its previous AI provider, Anthropic.
Anthropic, which won a Pentagon contract worth up to $200 million in July 2025, had been a key U.S. defence AI supplier, working with Palantir and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deploy its Claude models in classified military and intelligence systems.
But its relationship with the Pentagon collapsed in February after Anthropic refused to allow unrestricted military use of its AI, particularly for domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons. Following which, the Pentagon labeled it a “supply chain risk” and effectively cut it off from government work.
OpenAI, which had previously focused on unclassified government use, has now secured a Pentagon contract to provide its models for classified operations.
Its partnership with AWS builds on this latest shift, reflecting how access to government and defence contracts, especially via cloud providers already embedded in federal systems, is becoming a key battleground.
