Anthropic’s $200 million contract with the Department of Defense is up in the air after Anthropic reportedly raised concerns about the Pentagon’s use of its Claude AI model during the Nicolas Maduro raid in January.

“The Department of War’s relationship with Anthropic is being reviewed,” Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement to Fortune. “Our nation requires that our partners be willing to help our warfighters win in any fight. Ultimately, this is about our troops and the safety of the American people.”
