Feb. 28 (UPI) -- OpenAI announced it secured a deal to provide artificial intelligence services to the Defense Department hours after the Trump administration directed all federal agencies to stop using those provided by Anthropic.
OpenAI is the San Francisco-based tech research company founded by Sam Altman, Elon Musk and others behind applications including ChatGPT and DALL-E.
"Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified work," OpenAI CEO Altman said late Friday in a post on X.
The Pentagon had previously used Anthropic's AI model Claude in much of its classified work, including its operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
