The following also comes from the New York Times:

*"While many of the uses of artificial intelligence to assist military
operations on the ground are still in a developmental stage, the models are
actively used for intelligence analysis. Forcing Claude off government
computers would hurt analysts at the National Security Agency sifting
through overseas communications intercepts. It could also hamper C.I.A.
analysts searching for patterns in intelligence reports.Former officials
have said C.I.A. officials are anxious to find a way to continue to use
Claude, which has sped up their work and deepened their analysis. But
before Mr. Trump’s comments, officials had warned that any order by the
president could force the agency to find other solutions.The Pentagon is
ready to move forward with Grok, produced by Elon Musk’s xAI, on its
classified system. But Grok is considered by current and former government
officials to be an inferior product. And switching A.I. software would take
time and almost certainly cause disruption."*
