This is a Musk play to replace Claude with Grok, no way does anybody else care which plagiarism bot the USGov uses.
They care if that plagiarism bot has safeguards that won’t allow them to make something that kills without human input or allow them to spy on its users.
Unless this is all kabuki and a way to brand Claude the liberal LLM and Grok the conservative LLM so that the culture war can smother the ember of class solidarity that has formed in response to the LLM situation.
I think the second part is giving them too much credit. The whole business world has coalesced around Claude over the last month or so and the admin just wants the shiny new toy everyone else has so it can be used to kill and surveil and who would guess that the pedophile presidency doesn’t do well with being told no.
On the other hand, the whole culture war gambit could backfire because of how remarkably shitty the other models are by comparison. What’s a chud to do when the woke model and the OSS Chinese models far outclass Elon’s good ol CP robot?
Anthropic is the most prominent model used in the US government by far. I’d imagine they got targeted because whatever person who attempted to strap Claude onto a drone ran up against a hard “As an AI assistant, I am prohibited from…”
It could have been any of the major companies but it was Anthropic because they’re popular in the DoW already
