Anthropic is reportedly facing pressure from the Pentagon over the use of its AI models, potentially jeopardizing a $200 million contract, while OpenAI is experiencing significant growth in India, according to recent reports. Simultaneously, the enterprise AI landscape is rapidly evolving, with key players like Glean aiming to become the underlying intelligence layer for businesses, and OpenAI welcomes Peter Steinberger, the creator of OpenClaw, to its team.
The Pentagon is pushing AI companies to allow the U.S. military to use their technology for all lawful purposes, but Anthropic has reportedly been the most resistant, according to a report in Axios. This disagreement has led to threats of contract termination. The Wall Street Journal previously reported significant disagreements between Anthropic and Defense Department officials regarding the usage of its Claude models. The government is also making the same demands to OpenAI, Google, and xAI. An anonymous Trump administration official told Axios that one of those companies has agreed, while the other two have supposedly shown some flexibility.
In other AI news, OpenAI is experiencing significant growth in India, with CEO Sam Altman stating that the country has 100 million weekly active ChatGPT users. This makes India one of OpenAI's largest markets globally. Altman made these remarks ahead of the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi. OpenAI opened a New Delhi office in August 2025, and is looking to capitalize on India's large population and growing internet user base.
The enterprise AI market is also undergoing significant shifts. Companies like Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic are all vying for dominance in the enterprise AI space. Glean, however, is taking a different approach, aiming to become the underlying intelligence layer for businesses. Glean's initial focus was on building a better enterprise search tool, but the company has since shifted its strategy to become the connective tissue between models and enterprise systems, according to TechCrunch.
In a separate development, Peter Steinberger, the founder of the AI agent OpenClaw, is joining OpenAI. Sam Altman announced the news on X, stating that Steinberger has "a lot of amazing ideas about getting AI agents to interact with each other," and that the future "is going to be extremely multi-agent." OpenClaw will continue as an open-source project.
