March 17 : OpenAI has signed a new deal to sell access to its AI model to U.S. defense and government agencies through Amazon's cloud unit for classified and unclassified work, the Information reported 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, the report said.
OpenAI and Amazon did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
Claude maker Anthropic's relationship with the U.S. government collapsed in February after the firm refused to allow unrestricted military use of its AI, particularly for domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons, following which the Pentagon labelled it a "supply chain risk".
The ten members of the Future of Investment and Trade Partnership expressed support for such a measure after convening virtually ahead of the 14th WTO Ministerial Conference, scheduled for Mar 26 to 29.
