Elon Musk's AI company xAI signs an agreement allowing the U.S. military to use its AI model Grok in classified systems, replacing Anthropic's Claude model. Anthropic refuses to relax restrictions, while xAI agrees to adhere to the "all legitimate uses" standard. The U.S. Department of Defense is also negotiating with Google and OpenAI to ensure their models meet this criterion.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Elon Musk’s AI company xAI has signed an agreement allowing the U.S. military to use its AI model Grok in classified systems. Previously, only Anthropic’s Claude model was available in classified systems, but due to Anthropic’s refusal to relax safety restrictions and its rejection of the U.S. Department of Defense’s requirement that models be used for “all lawful purposes,” the two parties have been at an impasse. xAI has agreed to this standard, and the U.S. Department of Defense is accelerating negotiations with Google and OpenAI, demanding that their models Gemini and ChatGPT also meet the “all lawful purposes” criteria when entering classified spaces.
