Anthropic’s Claude Rises to No. 2 in the App Store Following Pentagon Dispute

Public attention, amplified by administration involvement in Pentagon dealings, propelled Anthropic's AI app to No. 2 on Apple's U.S. free charts.

  • On Saturday, Claude rose to number two on Apple's U.S. App Store, climbing from sixth on Wednesday to fourth on Thursday to second by Saturday.
  • The Department of Defense faces a dispute with Anthropic after Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said he would designate the company a 'supply chain risk to national security,' which Anthropic said it would challenge in court.
  • Social media posts documented dozens of users cancelling ChatGPT and switching to Claude, while pop musician Katy Perry declared she was `done` and SensorTower data show Claude climbing in February.
  • OpenAI announced a DoW agreement in a Friday night post, Sam Altman said, emphasizing human oversight of autonomous weapons and limits on mass surveillance in the Pentagon contract.
  • CNBC noted Claude's rise came almost immediately after the administration's denouncement, while Anthropic's November 2024 deal with Palantir and Amazon Web Services complicates procurement debates.
