Pentagon reaches agreements with top AI companies, but not Anthropic

The companies are: SpaceX, OpenAI, Google, NVIDIA, Reflection, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services.

Obviously the products then are: Grok, ChatGPT, Gemini, Nemotron, Azure & Bedrock.

Reflection is the only company there that has no model or service. It was started by 2 ex-Googlers a year ago. They claim they have a whole ass foundation base model. But what they've claimed to show is just a finetune of llama 3 70B & 405B. And yet, theyve raised several billion dollars over 12 months. And now this announcement? It's just odd.
