Google has joined Microsoft and Amazon in reassuring customers that Anthropic’s AI models, including Claude, will remain available for non-defense work—even after the Pentagon officially blacklisted the startup as a supply chain risk. “We understand that the Determination does not preclude us from working with Anthropic on non-defense related projects, and their products remain available through our platforms, like Google Cloud,” a Google spokesperson said on Friday, as first reported by CNBC.

The statement came a day after Microsoft became the first major cloud provider to offer similar assurances, telling customers that its lawyers had reviewed the designation and concluded that Claude can stay embedded across M365, GitHub, and Microsoft’s AI Foundry.
