⚡ Google joins the Pentagon AI club
Google is negotiating a classified deal to deploy Gemini with the Pentagon, a full reversal from its 2018 Project Maven exit.
The split is now clear:
• OpenAI: Already signed. “All lawful uses” clause sets the standard — despite soft limits on weapons and surveillance.
• Google: Copying the same terms, adding secure TPU infrastructure for classified environments.
• Anthropic: Refused to loosen safeguards → labeled a “supply chain risk” → effectively locked out.
What changed?
• Google quietly removed its bans on weapons + surveillance in 2025
• Internal
