AI Pet Hated, Space Station Full, OpenAI Adds OpenClaw Founder

The Pentagon is reportedly at odds with AI company Anthropic over the use of its technology, potentially jeopardizing a $200 million contract, according to a report in TechCrunch. The disagreement centers on the military's desire to utilize Anthropic's AI models, specifically Claude, for all lawful purposes, a request to which Anthropic has reportedly been resistant. This conflict comes as other AI companies, including OpenAI and Google, are also facing similar demands from the government.

According to a report in Axios, the Pentagon is making the same demands of 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. Anthropic, however, has reportedly been the most resistant. The Wall Street Journal previously reported significant disagreements between Anthropic and Defense Department officials regarding the use of Claude models.

In other news, Sam Altman announced on X that Peter Steinberger, the creator of the AI agent OpenClaw, is joining OpenAI. Altman stated that Steinberger has "amazing ideas about getting AI agents to interact with each other," suggesting a focus on multi-agent AI systems. OpenClaw will continue as an open-source project.
