- Federal agencies are removing Anthropic's AI tools, including Claude, due to a Trump administration directive.
- Agencies like Treasury, OPM, NASA, and ITA have stopped or plan to stop using Anthropic technologies.

- State Department's StateChat, which uses Claude, will be modified to rely on multiple models.
- NASA uses Claude for two chatbots at Goddard and Langley centers, now evaluating alternatives.
- OPM halted Claude use for summarization, drafting, and decision support, stating minimal impact.
- ITA no longer uses Claude for automating reports and data visualizations.
- AI use case inventories suggest more agencies may be affected, including VA, DOE, DHS, DOL, and Interior.
