The U.S. Department of Defense threatens to terminate the contract with Anthropic... The divide in the tech industry deepens

Technology and politics clash once again. The U.S. Department of Defense threatened to terminate its contract with Anthropic, a company now labeled as a “woke” enterprise by Trump. This puts Anthropic at risk of being surpassed by OpenAI due to Dario Amodei’s opposition to the government’s use of AI technology for surveillance and autonomous weapons systems. The tech industry is divided on this issue.

John Friel of theCUBE said, “My sources in Washington say that [Amodei] wants all AI to have government involvement,” and added, “We need to judge who is more trustworthy. I personally trust Amodei.”

The competition between Anthropic and OpenAI continues, with mixed market reactions. Although the SaaS industry is facing a crisis dubbed the “SaaSpocalypse,” mainstream opinion holds that innovation is crucial to keep up with AI-related investments.

Dell Technologies has performed well in the challenging stock market, attracting attention. Especially, Dell’s business model is becoming a model for other companies.

At MWC 2026 in Barcelona, experts gathered to discuss the impact of “intelligent agent AI” on mobile connectivity, with results expected to provide important insights for the market.
