I think the point is that would be catastrophic for Anthropic.

Who cares about Anthropic? That's the guys who are pushing for regulations to prevent people from using local models. The earlier they are gone the better

"First they came for Anthropic, and I said nothing because fuck those guys I guess."

First they came for Anthropic in spite of the fact that Anthropic tried so hard to make them come for local models first.

Are they? I couldn't find any info about this and my past perception has been that Anthropic has a stronger moral codex than other AI companies, so I would be genuinely interested in where you got this information from.

Going by what Hegseth said, it bans them from relationships or partnering with Anthropic at all. No renting or selling GPUs to them; no allowing software engineers to use Claude Code; no serving Anthropic models from their clouds. Probably have to give up investments; Amazon alone has invested like $10B in Anthropic.

It bans them from using all open source software unless they have signed an agreement with the developer to prohibit use of Claude Code.

What open source software ? Anthropic doesn't make open source software?

All open source software, because the developers might use Claude Code.

Nvidia can also say no, they won't have choice but yield or not have AI at all
