OpenAI partners with Pentagon to deploy AI models on classified networks

OpenAI has reached an agreement with the Department of Defense to deploy its AI models on the department's classified network. This deal comes hours after the Pentagon designated AI rival Anthropic a national security risk, leading to a federal ban on its technology. OpenAI's agreement reportedly includes safety restrictions. The Pentagon's move against Anthropic followed failed negotiations over AI safety concerns, while OpenAI secured terms respecting its principles on surveillance and autonomous weapons.
