According to multiple reports, the U.S. military deployed Anthropic's AI model Claude during Operation Resolve in early January 2026, a high-risk mission in Caracas that led to the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. The system was reportedly integrated via Anthropic's partnership with Palantir, raising questions over whether its use in a lethal operation clashes with Anthropic's stated bans on violence, weapons work and surveillance. While the precise tasks carried out by Claude remain classified, some sources suggest it may have been limited to non-lethal support such as intelligence summarization, logistics and translation, amid growing tension between Anthropic and the Trump administration over military applications of AI.

Coinbase has emerged as a key supporter, arguing that direct access could cut digital asset payment costs by 20–30 percent, though it warns that current restrictions may make the framework impractical for large-scale operations.

On February 14, 2026, Tesla signaled plans to scale its U.S. solar manufacturing to as much as 100 gigawatts of annual capacity, a level that would surpass current domestic panel output.
