Gate News, March 13 — During the AIPcon 9 conference today, Palantir CEO Alex Karp publicly responded for the first time to the Pentagon’s designation of Anthropic as a supply chain risk. Karp stated, “Our products have integrated Anthropic, and we may incorporate other large language models in the future.” He also said that Palantir is committed to providing the military with “the best and most lethal technology,” but believes there are “many reasons” to restrict the use of these technologies in domestic law enforcement and other scenarios, “because they are too powerful.” Although the Pentagon officially listed Anthropic as a supply chain risk and banned its participation in government contracts last Friday, the Department of Defense is still using the Claude model to support operations related to Iran. Department of Defense CTO Emil Michael today said, “It’s impossible to remove a deeply embedded system overnight.” A six-month transition plan is in place, but if the conflict persists and sensitive operations are involved, “obviously exceptions will be made to avoid jeopardizing current military actions.” An internal memo permits “mission-critical activities” to continue using Anthropic products beyond the six-month period. Anthropic has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government this week, seeking to revoke the supply chain risk designation and citing billions of dollars in damages. Palantir partnered with Anthropic and AWS in 2024 to provide the Claude model to U.S. defense and intelligence agencies. Other defense contractors like Lockheed Martin have also instructed employees to stop using Claude.

Banking industry questions the White House’s stablecoin report, allegations that the crisis of community bank deposit outflows was deliberately avoided
The American Bankers Association criticizes the White House’s research framework in its stablecoin report, saying it overlooks the risk of deposit outflows that could be triggered by prohibiting stablecoin yield. The White House report says the ban will have only a minimal impact on bank lending, increasing it by just $2.1 billion, but the ABA believes this issue’s framework fails to reflect the risks that would actually harm community banks and support the local economy. This dispute is also tied to the current cryptocurrency regulatory legislative efforts, shaping the future development of stablecoins and the competitive landscape for banks.
