But CEO Sam Altman said the negotiations, which his company began after a public rebuke from the Pentagon, were not yet complete. and President Donald Trump to Anthropic, it was "definitely rushed".

In its announcements, OpenAI went to great lengths to say it had not caved in to allowing the Pentagon to do whatever it wanted with its technology. The company published a blog post explaining that its agreement protected it from the use of autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance, and Altman said his company did not simply accept the same terms that Anthropic refused.

We could interpret it this way: OpenAI won both the contract and the moral advantage, but reading between the lines of the publication and the legal language makes something else clear: Anthropic followed an ethical approach that gave it many supporters but failed with the deal, while OpenAI followed a pragmatic and legal approach that is ultimately more lenient for the Pentagon.

It's not yet clear whether OpenAI can incorporate the security measures it promises as the military rushes to implement a politicized AI strategy during the Iran attacks, or whether the deal will be considered good enough by OpenAI employees who wanted their company to take a harder line.
