On June 24, as reported by The New York Times, U.S. officials revealed that the National Security Agency (NSA) has found itself unable to utilize a highly capable artificial intelligence model developed by Anthropic. This impasse stems from a conflict between the Trump administration and Anthropic. The AI model in question demonstrates exceptional proficiency in identifying software vulnerabilities, and NSA's cybersecurity analysts had been experimenting with different versions of the tool, yielding remarkable outcomes.

The root of the dispute lies in a $200 million Department of Defense contract, which was intended to integrate AI into classified systems. However, both parties held divergent views on the permissible boundaries of AI technology application in warfare scenarios. Earlier this month, citing national security concerns, the Trump administration slapped export controls on Anthropic. This move compelled Anthropic to halt the release of its most sophisticated models, Mythos 5 and Fable 5.
