Anthropic and Pentagon clash over Claude usage 🇺🇸

• The Pentagon wants AI labs to allow military use of their models for all lawful purposes.

• Anthropic is reportedly resisting broader usage terms, especially around autonomous weapons and surveillance.

• The Defense Department may reconsider its $200M contract if restrictions stay in place.

• This signals that government demand is now shaping how frontier AI models are deployed.

Blackstone backs India AI compute push 💻

• Blackstone is investing up to $600M in Indian AI infrastructure startup Neysa, with another $600M planned in debt.

• India currently has under 60,000 GPUs deployed and that number could scale to over 2 million.

• Neysa provides localized GPU infrastructure for enterprises and government clients.

• This highlights that AI competition is shifting toward domestic compute capacity, not just model development.
