Trump recently met with Anthropic boss Dario Amodei at the White House The BBC spoke with defence contractors who specialise in AI and have worked closely with the Pentagon, as well as former US defence officials and others familiar with the Pentagon's use of artificial intelligence.

OpenAI tools have been more widely adopted in recent months in some military departments, according to two people familiar with AI use in the defence department The Pentagon's statement on Monday came in response to a BBC question about its use of Anthropic, after multiple people said in interviews that Claude was still widely used.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has called for the pace of development to be slowed down The US Department of Defence is no longer using Anthropic's AI tools, an official has told the BBC, months after it designated the company a supply chain risk on national security grounds.
