Market Impact

The United States government's decision to favor OpenAI over Anthropic for military AI further solidifies OpenAI's position.

Event Summary

Anthropic's AI chatbot, Claude (language model), experienced a significant service outage on March 2, 2026, with thousands of users reporting issues across its chat service, mobile app, and coding assistant. Anthropic confirmed 'elevated errors' related to Claude.ai and login/logout paths, though the Claude (language model) API remained functional. This outage occurred shortly after Claude (language model) surpassed OpenAI's ChatGPT as the most-downloaded free app in Apple Inc.'s App Store in the United States. The event also follows an announcement by Donald Trump that the United States government would no longer use Anthropic's technology, leading OpenAI to secure a deal with the United States — United States Department of Defense for military AI applications.
