US government now 'trusts' Anthropic, the company that it banned months ago

This week, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick expressed renewed confidence in AI firm Anthropic, signaling a major diplomatic shift following previously imposed export restrictions. Tom Brown, co-founder of Anthropic, has been pivotal in repairing ties with Washington, engaging in proactive discussions and gaining recognition for the company’s data center expansion. Additionally, a recent ruling from a federal judge invalidated the Pentagon's previous blacklisting of Anthropic, further solidifying its standing.
