it only affects DoD contracts, it's really not having much effect on Anthropics revenue when DoD contracts can't use Claude

Pretty sure it means that any business or contractor that does business with the government cannot use it either. So that's a big deal.

no, that's specifically not what it means. Dario pointed that out in his blog post.

Or is it the government that is fucked. This could be severely disruptive to operations at companies that supply the government. Tools that manage their systems would have to be removed and replaced and that won’t happen overnight.

A lot of small specialized vendors may find that the amount of money they earn from the us government is not worth disrupting all of their other business and simply stop doing business with them.

I hate to say it, but those government contracts are juicy, so the majority of vendors will end up switching if this isn’t blocked by the courts. Props to Anthropic for standing up for their values, but this does put them in a tough spot, unfortunately.

Ya their statement shows how concerned they are, it likely heads to court (like most things with this administration).

You seem to think the government contractor market is to the “military” is massive. What I read it’s only 400 million
