Depends on how long the contract is, and who the administration is when that happens.
Comment on President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems
RamRabbit@lemmy.world 6 hours agoHe doesn’t say anything about breaking a signed contract. Simply that Anthropic will be phased out and no longer used.
As a corollary, I doubt Anthropic’s contract will be renewed when it the current one expires.

Oh. Didn’t realize the contracts were just 6 months long. I thought they were more like 10 years or something.

They deemed them a supply chain vulnerability.
That’s not the same as choosing not to renew a contract.

Trump and Hegseth tried two different things simultaneously. They tried to deem Anthropic both a hostile actor, which would cut all DoD contracts off completely, and then also tried to declare them essential and force them to ignore the safety limits set forth in the contract, which is the supply chain thing.
So yeah, the incompetence is showing as it always is.

This is the justification for phasing them out and not renewing the contract. Happens all the time, usually with less Tweets and more quiet paper pushing.
