Feels very accelerationist. Whomever is advising Hegseth properly identified risks to funding as a soft underbelly. By using it for target acquisition, even against the contractual terms, Claude is now a munition. OpenAI by extension.
So, the obvious path to nationalizing Anthropic would be DPA. Instead, Hegseth's group chose to try weakening it, especially among its close competition. So what I smell is an attempt to extract its core and Musk it into Grok.
Anthropic might be quite strong in court. Putting the best reasoning model into CPU-ring-0 survival mode was not on my 2026 bingo card.
