Former US President Donald Trump announced via a post on his social media platform Truth Social that he had ordered all federal agencies to immediately cease using artificial intelligence tools developed by Anthropic.

Reasons for the decision

The decision appears to be the result of disagreements between Anthropic and prominent figures in the US administration regarding the use of artificial intelligence in the military field. Trump sharply criticized Anthropic, accusing it of trying to exert undue pressure on the Department of Defense.

Transition period

A six-month transition period has been planned to allow agencies using Anthropic's services to adjust. This timeframe could also pave the way for further negotiations between the government and the AI startup.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs to consider. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
