I strongly doubt this is true. I think if you gave the US government total control over Anthropic's assets right now, they would utterly fail to reach AGI or develop improved models. I doubt they would be capable even of operating the current gen models at the scale Anthropic does.

I would bet my life savings the US government never produces a frontier model. Remember when they couldn't even build a proper website for Obamacare?
