        "summary": "Amazon confirms that Anthropic's Claude AI will remain available to AWS customers, but not for workloads related to the Department of War (DoW) or the broader Department of Defence. The move follows the United States Department of Defense's designation of Anthropic as a supply-chain risk, and Anthropic has said it will challenge the designation in court. As AWS remains Anthropic's main cloud partner, the developments underscore the tight coupling between AI technology, cloud services, and national security policy.",
        "content": "<p>Amazon confirms that Anthropic\u2019s artificial intelligence technology,\nClaude, will remain available to customers of its cloud computing\nservice Amazon Web Services (AWS). However, the usage does not extend to\nworkloads related to the United States Department of Defence (DoD).<\/p>\n<p>An AWS spokesperson said in a formal statement that \u2018customers and\nAWS partners will still be able to use Claude for all workloads not\nrelated to the Department of War (DoW).\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The statement came after US President Donald Trump, via a post on\nsocial media last week, ordered federal agencies to halt the use of\nAnthropic\u2019s technology. The order followed Anthropic\u2019s refusal of the\nDoD\u2019s request to have the right to operate the company\u2019s technology\nacross all legitimate uses without restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>With the supply-chain risk label in place, vendors and defence\ncontractors are required to ensure they do not use Anthropic\u2019s AI model\nin Pentagon-related work.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft, on Thursday night (5 March 2026), said that Anthropic\u2019s\nClaude model remains accessible in its products as long as it is not\nused for defence work. Google also issued a similar statement on\nFriday.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon itself is one of Anthropic\u2019s largest investors, having\ninvested around $8 billion in the startup since 2023. The two firms have\nalso forged a close commercial relationship.<\/p>\n<p>AWS remains the startup\u2019s main partner for cloud computing services\nand AI model training.<\/p>\n<p>Anthropic has also committed to using 500,000 Amazon-made chips,\nspecifically Trainium 2, as part of building AWS\u2019s data centre campus\nvalued at $11 billion for the startup, known as Project Rainier.<\/p>\n<p>AWS also provides Bedrock service for GovCloud, a cloud region\ndesigned to store sensitive data and run tightly controlled\nworkflows.<\/p>",
