Sam Altman: OpenAI's Deal with US War Department Hinged on Control, Not Anthropic's Stance

OpenAI founder Sam Altman revealed on X that his company's recent partnership with the U.S. War Department was secured after discussions with Anthropic nearly resulted in an agreement. Altman stated that Anthropic was "very close" to finalizing a deal with the War Department, and both parties had a strong desire to collaborate for a significant portion of the negotiations.

However, Altman suggested that the highly charged negotiation environment may have led to a rapid deterioration of talks, ultimately preventing the agreement from being reached. This internal dynamic within the negotiations, rather than any specific stance by Anthropic, appears to have been a key factor in OpenAI securing the deal.
