> The White House and intelligence officials had pushed forward a classified contract between Anthropic and the N.S.A., which would allow the spy agency to use the company’s technology for a variety of purposes, including intelligence analysis and detecting new computer vulnerabilities.

Ironic that both sides are playing a horse shoe game:

Gov: The model is both a supply chain risk and also we'll DPA you if you don't give it to us.

Anthropic: The model is both like a nuclear weapon in terms of national security implications and safe for general release.
