They are playing a good PR game for sure. Their recent track record doesn’t show if they can be trusted. Few millions is nothing for their current revenue and saying they sacrificed is a big stretch here.
It's much more than a few million? Being declared a supply chain risk means that no company that wants to do business with the government can buy Anthropic.

I consider the events of the last week a kind of death rattle of the old republic, the outward expression of a body that has thrown in the towel.
