Kristoff states, "The government wants to use the best. Claude is the best." She notes that despite the feud, the military is unlikely to offload Anthropic because it is "embedded across our national security apparatus." Anthropic is a private company, so you cannot buy it directly. However, Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOGL) are its primary multi-billion dollar backers and cloud infrastructure providers. If Anthropic cements itself as the primary AI for the US military over OpenAI, the valuation accrual flows to its equity holders and cloud partners. LONG. Betting on the "arms dealer" of AI software through their public proxies. The Pentagon could force a hard pivot to a different model if contract disputes regarding "autonomous weaponry" are not resolved.
