Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned Anthropic boss Dario Amodei that he has until Friday evening to remove restrictions on how the US military can use the company’s Claude AI chatbot – or potentially face major penalties. Hegseth, who delivered the ultimatum during a high-stakes meeting in Washington, DC, on Tuesday afternoon, told Amodei that the Pentagon could blacklist Anthropic by declaring it a “supply chain risk,” a source familiar with the meeting told The Post. Alternatively, the Pentagon could use the Defense Production Act to effectively mandate that Anthropic allow use of Claude for all military purposes.
