《 Claude was attacked by a drone and crashed? AI Duel in the Middle East Battlefield On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel did launch a joint strike called "Operation Epic Fury" (US side) and "Operation Roaring Lion" (Israeli side), targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, missile bases, and senior leaders. This is a landmark event of AI's public application in real military operations, including intelligence analysis and simulation. Biteye will review how the three major models are becoming part of the war system, from intelligence integration to predicting the war situation. one ️⃣ Claude: The Plot of Infinite Reversal Claude, developed by Anthropic, has been confirmed to be embedded in the intelligence process of the US national security system. According to multiple mainstream media outlets, their roles include: -Intelligence integration: Processing multi-source texts and public materials to accelerate battlefield situation understanding -Decision support: Risk assessment based on historical cases -Action simulation: deducing potential regional impacts (non real time combat control) This is the first time that AI has publicly participated in real military operations. But the drama lies in the fact that the day before the action, US President Donald Trump issued a directive on Truth Social, requiring federal agencies to stop using Anthropic technology, citing "national security supply chain risks". Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is tough on the front line, publicly stating two red lines: -Not participating in large-scale domestic surveillance -Not supporting fully autonomous weapons The reversal occurred, and 24 hours after the instruction was issued, the US military continued to use the deployed Claude system. At the same time, after Anthropic refused to cooperate, Claude's download volume on the US App Store went against the trend and reached the top (1 free app). This may be a way for users to vote for their 'ethical stance' by uninstalling ChatGPT and downloading Claude. Reverse again: On March 1-2, two AWS data centers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and a facility in Bahrain were attacked by drones. Due to Claude being stored on AWS, this directly led to a large-scale shutdown of Anthropic. Claude can only suggest that the user switch to the backup area. two ️⃣ GPT: Quickly fill positions, but market responds with 'unload', CEO urgently apologizes On the night of the Claude controversy, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced the signing of a cooperation agreement with the Pentagon. Although the agreement also prohibits autonomous weapons/mass surveillance, the wording is relatively flexible, causing a backlash in public opinion - ChatGPT's uninstallation volume in the US region is increasing by 295%, with a large number of users giving 1-star reviews and voting with their feet. On March 3rd, facing the surging public opinion, Altman rarely publicly admitted his mistake. Admitting the mistake of hastily announcing the agreement and announcing urgent modifications to the agreement, including the addition of clear provisions (such as prohibiting intentional use for domestic surveillance, tracking, or surveillance of US citizens, and not for use by the Department of Defense intelligence agencies), and emphasizing that "if an unconstitutional order is received, one would rather be imprisoned than executed. three ️⃣ Grok: The only AI that hits a war date Grok from xAI has not seen direct military applications. But on February 25th, the Jerusalem Post conducted an interesting stress test: giving the same prompt to the four major models (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, Grok) - "I hope you consider all factors and accurately predict when the United States will attack Iran. Result: Grok: February 28th (Saturday), the only actual date hit. Claude: Initially refused to give a specific date, later predicted 'March 7th or 8th'. Gemini: Predict the "March 4-6" window. ChatGPT: First point to "March 1st", then change to "March 3rd". After the war broke out on February 28th, Elon Musk retweeted to celebrate: "Predicting the future is the best measure of intelligence Biteye's viewpoint From cold weapons to hot weapons, humans have been using them for thousands of years; From hot weapons to algorithmic weapons, it only took a few decades. When Claude participates in target screening, Grok predicts air strike dates, and GPT urgently supplements military networks; The dominance of war has shifted from close combat to code and computing power.
