Strange juxtaposition with the war in Iran happening at the same time as the controversy around Anthropic, OpenAI, and the Pentagon. OpenAI has a post with the details of their agreement, which also includes red lines on mass surveillance and autonomous weapons:

"We think our agreement has more guardrails than any previous agreement for classified AI deployments, including Anthropic’s."

I’m confused about how Anthropic’s proposed contract differs from the contract that OpenAI has shared. If the Pentagon offered the same agreement to Anthropic, would they accept it? Lots of questions.

Our agreement with the Department of War

Details on OpenAI’s contract with the Department of War, outlining safety red lines, legal protections, and how AI systems will be deployed in classified environments.

I saw some folks asking what the difference was between what OpenAI signed with the DoD and what Anthropic said they wanted, and Sam more or less admits here the key point: OpenAI's deal requires them to trust the NSA. Anthropic's contract had real safeguards.
