Palantir As a clash between the artificial intelligence startup and the Department of Defense unfolds, the company is still using Anthropic’s Claude, CEO Alex Karp told CNBC on Thursday.
“The Department of the Army has a plan to phase out Anthropic, but it is not currently phased out,” Karp told CNBC’s Seema Modi at Palantir’s AIPcon 9 in Maryland. “Our product is integrated with Anthropic and may be integrated with other large language models in the future.”
As CNBC previously reported, the Pentagon formally designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk last week, but is still using the Claude model to support the Iran war.
Anthropic sued the Trump administration on Monday to revoke its supply chain risk designation and is seeking an end to the Pentagon action.
This is Palantir’s first comment since the Pentagon designation. Anthropic and Palantir team up Amazon Web services supporting the Department of Defense in 2024.
Other defense technology companies have told employees to stop using Claude as the conflict continues. lockheed martin.
