Anthropic expands US government AI deal despite Pentagon blacklist

Anthropic has expanded its agreement with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), providing discounted access to its AI products, despite ongoing disputes with the Pentagon. The new deal, part of the GSA’s OneGov program, includes a 40% discount on Anthropic’s Claude family of AI models, accessible across government agencies without a minimum purchase requirement. While the Pentagon has classified Anthropic as a national-security risk, limiting its military contracting capabilities, this new agreement may indicate further growth potential within the non-military government sector.
