Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is negotiating with U.S. Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Emil Michael to try to reach a compromise on the terms of a Pentagon contract to use Anthropic's AI model. Negotiations broke down last week. In an internal memo, Amodei stated that at the end of the negotiations, the Department of Defense proposed removing a clause from the contract regarding "bulk acquisition and analysis of data," a core safeguard preventing Anthropic from using AI for mass domestic surveillance. Anthropic's red lines include prohibiting the use of AI for mass domestic surveillance and lethal autonomous weapons. Amodei also stated in the memo that some statements from the Pentagon and OpenAI contained misinformation and implied that Anthropic was sidelined because it did not praise Trump. Previously, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth threatened to classify Anthropic as a supply chain risk, a move that would force companies in the military supply chain to sever ties with Anthropic. Anthropic won a $200 million contract from the U.S. Department of Defense last July, becoming the first AI model to be used in classified environments and by national security agencies. (FT)

Kraken Financial, the banking arm of Kraken, has received approval from the Federal Reserve for a "master account," becoming the first crypto company to access the Fed's core payment system and gain access to the same payment channels as thousands of banks and credit unions. This account will allow Kraken Financial direct access to Fedwire, the interbank payment system that processes over $4 trillion in transactions daily; previously, the arm relied on intermediary banks for fund transfers. Kraken Financial holds a special banking license in Wyoming specifically for crypto companies, and this approval grants limited master account privileges, excluding all services enjoyed by banks, such as earning interest on reserves held at the Fed. The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City reviewed the application and announced its approval on Wednesday. Kraken co-CEO Arjun Sethi stated that this move will improve the reliability and efficiency of fiat currency deposits entering and leaving the digital asset market. Banking groups have criticized the decision. Paige Pidano Paridon, co-head of regulatory affairs at the Bank Policy Institute, stated that the decision lacks transparency in the approval process and risk mitigation measures. Kraken, founded in 2011, completed a funding round last November at a $20 billion valuation and has filed for an IPO. (WSJ)
