I’m also concerned that the Department of War now CAN’T use this model because of its own decision to declare Anthropic a supply chain risk.
When I’ve talked with people in the government about the Secretary of Defense a supply chain risk, they often include “for now”. When I’ve asked them if they think it will stick, or if the admin will reverse policy, they often say something like “who knows what will happen.”
I get the impression that the admin could completely change its mind about policies like these, including very rapidly.
Without claiming much expertise, there might not even be an interruption. By the time the 6 month phaseout window is over, model capabilities will have developed so much that the admin will have completely changed its stance.
