Anthropic-Palantir Partnership at Risk After Pentagon Decision

For over a year, Anthropic has served the U.S. government through Palantir Technologies, an enterprise software firm known for working with the Pentagon and other federal agencies. Palantir’s customers have used Anthropic models to help them identify patterns across large volumes of classified data so they can make decisions.

But the Defense Department’s decision on Friday to restrict military contractors from using Anthropic’s technology could force Palantir to sever its ties with the AI firm. Palantir is one such contractor: About 42% of its nearly $4.5 billion in revenue last year came from U.S. government contracts, according to company disclosures.
