NEW YORK, March 4 : Palantir is the latest company to face the painful task of unwinding from Anthropic in the wake of the AI lab's dispute with the Pentagon over safety guardrails, raising questions about a key military software platform.
Palantir's Maven Smart Systems – a software platform that supplies militaries with intelligence analysis and weapons targeting – uses multiple prompts and workflows that were built using Anthropic's Claude code, according to two people familiar with the matter.
U.S. President Donald Trump last week ordered the government to stop working with Anthropic after the AI lab reached an impasse in its row with the Pentagon over whether its policies could constrain autonomous weapons and government surveillance.
Palantir, which holds Maven-related contracts with the Defense Department and other U.S. national security agencies that have a potential value of more than $1 billion, will have to replace Claude with another AI model and rebuild parts of its software, one of the sources said. Reuters could not determine how long this process would take.
