The military is using Palantir's Maven Smart System, which uses Claude, to identify targets to attack.
From here[1]:
> The targets for Operation Epic Fury were identified with the aid of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s Maven Smart System, which folds in data from surveillance and intelligence, among other data points, and can lay out the information on a dashboard to support officials in their decision-making.
> Maven, created by Palantir, has been coupled with Anthropic’s Claude, a large language model that can vastly speed up that processing.
And here[2], it's still being used despite being "banned":
> But given the government’s extensive use of the company’s chatbot Claude during its deadly offensive in Iran, it’s clearly having trouble making do without it. As The Washington Post reports, the US military is extensively using Palantir’s Maven Smart System in the conflict, which has had Anthropic’s Claude chatbot integrated since 2024.
> Last week, the Wall Street Journal first reported on the Pentagon’s use of Claude to select attack targets in Iran, hours after the White House announced its ban.
> According to WaPo‘s sources, the system spits out precise location coordinates for missile strikes and prioritizes them by importance. Maven was also used during the US military’s invasion of Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president, Nicolás Maduro.
> Center Command is “heavily using” the Maven system, Navy admiral Liam Hulin told WaPo.
> Military commanders told the newspaper that the military will continue using Anthropic’s tech, regardless of the president ordering them not to, until a viable replacement emerges.
> Fun fact: Palantir is powered entirely by Claude
Haha what, OpenAI has been in bed with them and their models used by them since before Anthropic was even a thing. Claude will just have been picked because they considered it the strongest at the task at that point in time.
The pushback isn't that they use Anthropic, it is that you stated they used it "entirely", which is not true.
Yes Anthropic is a priority model in their ecosystem and they are deeply embedded with both tech and staff, but they are not the one as indicated and sourced in my reply above.
As far as I'm aware, Pyroscope itself is not a profiler, but a place you can send/query profiles. OpenTelemtry is releasing a profiler, so they don't compare. One can be used with the other.
I did some research for a large financial library we were helping maintain to improve CI and did a writeup on the best way to redo the ci for:
* pushing a container image to docker hub
* pushing a sdk to npm
* pushing a rust crate to crates.io
* publishing a cli executable and some docs to GitHub as a release
We settled on a eeeily similar approach as caddy sans the release proposal. We are also heavily focusing on trusted publishing and attestation (via cosign) for any platform that supports it.
I went through this today and it is just work of art. Mohammed Al-Sahaf Is an artisan in CI, truly.
The reason there were so many commercial distributions of open stack was because setting it up reliably end to end was nearly impossible for most mere mortals.
Company’s like meta cloud or mirantis made a ton of money with little more than openstack installers and a good out of the box default config with some solid monitoring and management tooling
