Anthropic Ramps Up Washington Campaign, Criticizes Trump’s Chip Export Rollbacks

The company courts federal buyers with a FedRAMP-certified suite plus a $1 GSA offer to speed adoption.

Overview

  • Anthropic kicked off a week of outreach with a Futures Forum in D.C., as co-founders Dario Amodei and Jack Clark head to Capitol Hill and warn that China is moving faster on AI adoption.
  • Under a GSA OneGov deal, agencies can access Claude for Enterprise and Claude for Government for $1 for one year, an offer the company says has drawn interest from dozens of agencies.
  • The firm emphasizes that its Claude for Government models carry FedRAMP High authorization for sensitive, unclassified work.
  • Anthropic says its models are available to U.S. national security customers, including staff at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and it is leveraging a Pentagon CDAO OTA to scope pilots alongside warfighters.
  • CEO Dario Amodei publicly criticized the Trump administration’s eased restrictions on advanced chip exports and called for basic transparency rules and policies to cushion likely job displacement.
